Core Tip For children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and comorbid anxiety, a 12-week intervention combining structured social skills education with nondirective sandplay therapy significantly alleviated core behavioral symptoms and anxiety, while enhancing attention function and self-awareness. This comprehensive, non-pharmacological approach yielded high parental satisfaction by integrating external skill-building with internal emotional integration, offering a clinically valuable treatment model that addresses both the psychological and social deficits in this complex pediatric population.
