The SPSS software (version 26) was used for analyzing the data. Results: Regression analysis results showed that ADHD symptoms and parental coping strategies with children's negative emotions can predict social skills in children. Moderation analysis showed that parental supportive strategies moderates the relation of ADHD symptoms and social skills. Conclusion: Based on these findings using supportive strategies by parents have effect on the association of ADHD symptoms and social skills.
