Physical and psychological complementary health approaches (also called mind and body practices) aren’t just for adults. Children and teens use them, too.
- Biofeedback, guided imagery, hypnosis, mindfulness, and yoga are some of the approaches that have the best evidence of being effective in children for symptoms such as anxiety and stress, and they’re low risk.
- A 2017 national survey showed that 8.4 percent of U.S. children and teens ages 4 to 17 practiced yoga and 5.4 percent used meditation.
- It’s important to tell your child’s health care providers about all complementary health approaches your child is using, including mind and body practices.
