Mindfulness and meditation helps with AD(H)D. I've seen it in action. It's awesome. I am currently writing a 10 week course for children between 10-12
Mindfulness Meditation Training
The hypothesis that mindfulness may be beneficial in the treatment of ADHD was confirmed by an open observational study of an 8-week mindfulness meditation program developed by Jon Kabat Zinn.[24] Both adolescents and adults with ADHD benefited from the 2.5-h sessions paired with regular daily exercises on the severity of ADHD, depressiveness and impulse control. Interestingly, a neuropsychological improvement in control of attention was also described. However, controlled trials remain to be conducted.
