This study aimed to examine how coping skills training affects emotional self-regulation in children with ADHD. Methods: In this study, a quasi-experimental design was used with pretests, post-tests and a control group.

Totally, 28 of them were chosen for the study using a purposive sampling method. Both groups were randomly divided into two experimental (n=14) and control (n=14) groups. The experimental group received 12 ninety-minute sessions of therapy once a week, while the control group did not receive treatment. The study instruments were a questionnaire on demographic features and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). For data analysis, SPSS 21 was used to conduct an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: Twenty-eight children aged 7-12 were evaluated for ADHD (mean=8.13±1.20) whose diagnoses met the diagnostic criteria. The results revealed that coping skills training made significant changes in emotion regulation in pre-test and post-test in experimental group were 13.53±2.446 and 14.00±2.299 and in control group 13.40±2.098 and 13.40±1.920 , respectively (P<0.001).
