Summary
Anxiety and depression are common problems that begin early and cause major life interference. There are currently few programs to prevent the development of these problems. We developed an early education program for parents of shy and withdrawn preschool children that showed promising effects when the children reached middle childhood. We are now seeking funds to follow these children into middle adolescence to see whether the program continues to benefit them during this vulnerable period.
