Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial RCT aims to investigate the efficacy of Mind-Mindedness MM training for caregivers as an early intervention for preschool-aged children 4 to 7 years exhibiting signs of social anxiety The study posits that enhancing caregivers ability to recognize and respond to their childrens thoughts feelings and intentions-termed Mind-Mindedness-can foster secure attachments and improve socioemotional outcomes for children
A total of 100 primary caregivers will be recruited from the United Kingdom and Iran with participants randomly assigned to either an MM training intervention group or a peer support control group The MM training will consist of three online sessions each lasting one hour focusing on strategies for implementing mind-minded comments and enhancing emotional understanding The peer support group will provide caregivers with an online platform for sharing experiences related to their childs anxiety without receiving structured training
Assessments of Mind-Mindedness child social anxiety attachment and theory of mind will be conducted at baseline post-intervention and three months after the intervention using validated measures This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of MM training in reducing social anxiety symptoms in children while examining the potential mediating roles of attachment and theory of mind in this relationship
By incorporating a cross-cultural approach this research will contribute to understanding the influence of cultural contexts on the effectiveness of caregiver interventions The anticipated findings could establish MM training as a valuable strategy for mitigating social anxiety in preschoolers and inform future clinical practices aimed at enhancing caregiver-child interactions

Detailed Description:
This study aims to explore a new approach to support preschool children ages 4 to 7 who struggle with social anxiety The investigators believe that when caregivers such as parents understand and respond more effectively to their childs feelings and thoughts it can help the child feel more secure and less anxious in social situations
To test this idea the investigators are inviting 100 caregivers from the UK and Iran to participate in our research Participants will be randomly divided into two groups one group will receive special training called Mind-Mindedness training which consists of three online sessions designed to teach caregivers techniques for better understanding their childs emotions The other group will participate in a peer support group where participants can share experiences with other caregivers this group will not receive the training
The investigators will assess the childrens social anxiety before the training immediately after it and three months later to determine if the training has a positive impact This study aims to demonstrate how enhancing caregiver awareness of their childs feelings can reduce anxiety and help children interact more confidently with others
