Childhood anxiety disorders often have a poor prognosis. Despite this, there are currently no published treatment protocols for young children with anxiety difficulties. Individually focused therapies (e.g. CBT) are useful for older children, but likely to be less so for this group. This paper describes a pilot investigation of a new CBT based parenting intervention for the treatment of children aged 9 years and under. Sixteen parents of 11 anxious children took part in a 10-week intervention, completing the Child Behaviour Checklist at three time points. The intervention was based on a new cognitively enhanced parenting package, with an emphasis on coping with internalizing symptoms, and with additional modules on the specific skills needed for managing anxiety. All children were reported to experience substantial decreases in their internalizing symptoms by the end of the study. Parents' satisfaction with the intervention was high. This is a promising new intervention for the treatment of a currently neglected group.
