The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a positive online parenting program on cold executive functions in children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population included all parents of children aged 7 to 12 years who referred to rehabilitation and psychological centers in Tehran in 2020-2021 and received attention-hyperactivity disorder based on the opinion of experts. By available sampling method, 30 children with an average age of 7 to 12 years were selected and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 experimental and control. The experimental group received a positive parenting program online in 8 sessions. Attention registration test, N- BACK test, Stroop test and Wisconsin card test were used to evaluate the cold executive functions. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covriance SPSS-25 software. Findings showed that a positive parenting program had a significant effect on improving sustained attention, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control (P <0.05) and had no significant effect on working memory (P> 0.05). Accordingly, it can be said that the use of positive parenting online in the time of the outbreak of Covid-19 can be considered by specialists and ADHD children's treatment centers and for families who can not visit the centers in person can benefit from this intervention.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positive parenting programs and distress tolerance skills on the psychological well-being of mothers with children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research design was a quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest one with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all mothers of children aged 7 to 11 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Tehran in 2021-2022. The sample size included 45 students who were selected from the statistical population by the available sampling method (n=15). For the first experimental group, a positive parenting training program was implemented and for the second experimental group, a distress tolerance training program was implemented while the control group did not receive any training. The research instrument included the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Reef, 1989). The results showed that both interventions had an effect on improving the psychological well-being of mothers with children with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder. (P<0.001). Evidence shows that positive parenting programs and distress tolerance skills are effective in increasing mothers' psychological well-being and the difference between positive parenting groups and distress tolerance skills is not significant (P <0.05). Overall, it can be concluded that a positive parenting program and distress tolerance skills can lead to the improvement of the psychological well-being of mothers with children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
