Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder leads to mental, behavioral, and emotional damage to the infected children. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the efficacy of parents’ behavioral training model (Barkley) on the emotional regulation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The present study was experimental with pretest, posttest, and control group design. The statistical population of the study included male children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the city of Yazd in the autumn and winter of 2018-19. In this study, the sample size was 30 people (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group) but after the intervention of 2 parents in the experimental group and 2 parents in the control group, they refused to continue the intervention. The parents of the children in the experimental group received eight seventy-five-minute intervention sessions of the parents’ behavioral training model (Barkley) for one month. The applied questionnaires in this study included the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder questionnaire (Brock, Clinton, 2007) and the emotional regulation questionnaire (Shields & Cicchetti, 1997). The data of 26 parents were analyzed by the ANCOVA method using SPSS-23 software. The results showed that the parents’ behavioral training model (Barkley) has a significant effect on the emotional regulation of the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (p<0.001). According to the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the parents’ behavioral training model (Barkley) can be sued as an efficient method to increase emotional regulation in the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by employing training appropriate methods to decrease the children’s abnormal behavior, the skill of showing positive attention to the children, methods of making positive interaction and managing inappropriate behaviors and the skills of positive attention.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of parenting based on organizational skills and mindful parenting on parent-child relationships and symptoms of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This was a quasi-experimental research with pretest, posttest and follow up. The study population consisted of all children aged 8-10 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Isfahan who were educated in Isfahan public schools in 2019-2020. In this study participated 45 male children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that diagnosed on the basis of the Child Psychiatry and Fourth edition of Swanson-Nolan and Pelham Scale. In an experimental group, 11 sessions of parenting based on organizational skills and another experimental group 8 sessions of mindful parenting were conducted. The participants answered to Fourth edition of Swanson-Nolan and Pelham Scale(SNAP-IV) and parent-child relationships scale(CPRS) in three stages. Data were analyzed using repeated measures. Mindful parenting compared parenting based on organizational skills significant effect on parent-child relationships in the post-test and in the follow-up stage also remains(p≤05). Parenting based on organizational skills improved attention deficit and total attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder in the post-test and the effects have been significant and the effect on follow-up stage also remains(p≤05). But parenting based on organizational skills did not have a significant effect on symptoms of hyperactivity/ impulsivity(P≥0.05). This study provides promising results in improving parent-child relationships and reducing the symptoms of children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder by educating mindful parenting and parenting based on organizational skills as an intervention.
