The sample size included 30 people (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group) from the statistical population, who were selected by purposive sampling and were placed in two control and experimental groups. For the experimental group, 10 sessions of 120 minutes of parent-child empathic communication sessions were conducted. The social anxiety scale for children and adolescents and the separation anxiety scale were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Result: Findings showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference between the post-test of the experimental and control groups in separation anxiety (P < 0.05, F = 81.319) and social anxiety (P < 0.05, 65.799). F =) there was. Therefore, it can be said that the treatment based on the parent-child relationship has been effective on the separation anxiety and social anxiety of children.
