This is a single-center, randomized, controlled intervention study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention on reducing body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) in children aged 8-18, such as nail-biting, skin-picking, and hair-pulling. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a mindfulness intervention group or a psychosocial education control group. The study aims to assess the impact of the intervention on the severity and frequency of BFRBs, psychological health outcomes such as anxiety and depression, and family dynamics. Data will be collected through standardized psychological assessments. The study's findings will contribute to understanding the role of mindfulness in managing BFRBs and improving emotional and familial well-being in children.
