dc.description.abstractParents play a large role in the socialization of children and parent wellbeing has the capacity to influence children’s attachment security, self-regulation, and overall mental wellbeing. The most common mental illnesses impacting children in Canada are anxiety related. The benefits of including parents in early interventions for children with symptoms of anxiety, fears, and worries have not been studied. It has been theorized, though not empirically tested, that parent inclusion in mindfulness interventions may enhance therapeutic outcomes, further decreasing children’s anxiety symptoms. The present study investigated this assertion using two groups, one including 6 parent–child dyads and another with 10 children participating without a parent present (n=16). The paper presents mixed methods research findings that explore the benefits of parent inclusion in mindfulness early-interventions for children. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.en_US
