Pediatric behavioral concerns, encompassing anxiety, hyperactivity, and emotional dysregulation, pose significant challenges for children, families, and health-care professionals. Traditional interventions often rely on behavioral modification or medication, with varying degrees of success and potential side effects. In recent years, nonpharmacological approaches, particularly those grounded in mind-body practices, have gained traction. Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation technique rooted in yoga philosophy, offers a promising approach for promoting emotional well-being and positive behavioral change in children. This comprehensive review explores the potential of Yoga Nidra in addressing pediatric behavioral concerns. This review examined the potential mechanisms underlying Yoga Nidra's effects and existing research on its psychological impact, including stress reduction, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and sleep quality. Parallels were also drawn with hypnosis, another established mind-body technique. Finally, the research on Yoga Nidra's effectiveness in specific behavioral issues was reviewed and advocated for further investigation as a noninvasive intervention for promoting positive child development.
儿童行为问题，包括焦虑、多动和情绪失调，给儿童、家庭和医疗保健专业人员带来了重大挑战。传统干预措施通常依赖行为矫正或药物治疗，其成功率和潜在副作用各不相同。近年来，非药物方法，特别是那些基于身心练习的方法，越来越受到关注。瑜伽休息术是一种植根于瑜伽哲学的引导式冥想技巧，为促进儿童的情绪健康和积极行为改变提供了一种有前景的方法。这篇综述探讨了瑜伽休息术在解决儿童行为问题方面的潜力。本综述研究了瑜伽休息术效果的潜在机制以及现有关于其心理影响的研究，包括压力减轻、情绪调节、自我意识和睡眠质量。还将其与另一种成熟的身心技巧——催眠进行了比较。最后，对瑜伽休息术在特定行为问题上的有效性研究进行了综述，并主张将其作为促进儿童积极发展的非侵入性干预措施进行进一步研究。
