The aim of this article is to determine the effectiveness of group training of positive parenting of children affected with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The current research is of quasi-experimental and of pre and post test type of study. In this study, 46 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which referred to occupational therapy centers in Tehran, were randomly selected as the two groups of experiment and control. In addition to drug therapy and occupational therapy programs, mothers of those children received eight (2h) sessions of group training of positive parenting program and the control group did not receive the training. A post-test are performed on both of the groups after the completion.
