this study was done to determine the effectiveness of executive function based parenting education program on cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control of preschool children. The research was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest–follow–up and a control group design. The statistical population consisted of approximately 8400 mothers with sons aged 4-6 years who had registered their children in the preschool centers of one of the twenty-two districts of Tehran in the academic year of 2021-2022. Cluster Multi-stage sampling was done and according to the entry and exit criteria of the study, 32 people were selected and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups of 16. To collect data, The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) (Robinson et al., 1995) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Preschool Version (BRIEF-P)(Gioia et al., 2003) were used. The executive function based parenting package(Ghasemi et al., 1401) for the experimental group was implemented in eight 70-minute sessions. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, as well as inferential statistics, such as repeated–measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post–hoc test using SPSS18. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the average score of the child's cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control in the pre-test stage with the post-test (p<0.01) and the pre-test stage with the follow-up (p<0.01). Also, the results of the Benferroni test for grades in three stages of measurement showed that there is stability in the results. Therefore, if parents are exposed to this parenting intervention, it is expected that their children's cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control will improve.

The ability to self-regulate is one of the most important factors in relation with many positive psychological outcomes and should be fostered especially in students. The aim of the present study was to test the effectiveness of executive functions education on self-regulation base on mediator role of planning. The research design was semi-experimental design with pretest-posttest with control group. The statistical population of this study was all students in the fifth, sixth and seventh grade in the 2nd district of Tehran. The participants were 40 students who were enrolled in schools in academic year of 2018-19. These participants selected through convenience sampling. In the experimental group, 20 students received 8 sessions of 90 minutes of training, while the members of the control group received no training. The research tool was The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. For analysis of data, structural models with partial least squares approach were used in the form of MIMIC model. From significant findings of this study, we can mention the fitting of conceptual model as well as the direct and indirect effect of executive functions education on self-regulation. In sum the fitting model showed the importance of training and mediator variable.
