Abstract
Sex education is considered as one of the main aspect of education that overlook in Iran. We used systematic review for answering three questions related to definition and conceptualization of sex education, sex education curriculum and skills and investigating the effectiveness of these programs. Findings of this study showed that sex education programs ranged from instruction for sexual protection to applying ethical methods for obtaining sexual health. Primary definitions of sex education were general and behavioral but as the time passed, this definition transform to culture-dependent definitions. Sex education program is effective for reducing unwanted pregnancy in adolescents and protecting from sexual abuse. It could conclude that adopting a holistic sexuality education that is characterized by applying psychological skill training methods and involvement of parents and school authorities, could fulfill the goals of sex education programs. Any sex education programs should modified based on the individual and cultural aspects to reach better success in guaranteeing sexual health for children.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the effective disciplinary methods of educators on reducing child abuse in one of the boarding centers covered by welfare. The research method is qualitative case study and sampling method is available. To conduct this study, a sample of educators working in one of the girls' private boarding centers under the auspices of the Welfare of Tehran agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected through observation, interview, questionnaire and daily report book. Educators were divided into two groups based on the extent of child abuse during their hours of attendance: effective educators (with relatively low levels of child abuse) and less effective educators (with relatively high levels of child abuse). The disciplinary methods they use to manage children's behavior were compared. Three-step coding technique (open, axial and selective) was used to analyze the data. According to the results, the dominant approach in the disciplinary activities of effective educators was the comprehensive versus traditional approach. In other words, effective educators used comprehensive, supportive and participatory activities in the components of relationships, respect, interaction, engagement, and environment to establish discipline, and less effective educators used traditional activities based on reward, punishment, and control.

Abstract
Aggression is an inner tendency and part of human behavior that the child needs to learn to control it. Toys are the most important product to learn children. The number of the toys with this purpose which exist in the Iranian market is not very large, but many of them are used as training aids. However, no evaluation has been done so far on the effectiveness and efficiency of these products. The purpose of this applied research is to evaluate the efficiency of these toys. In this study, a sample size of 414 children was randomly surveyed. The instrument for measuring anger in children was the Nelson Questionnaire and then the conditions for anger and the method of its expression was done through another questionnaire. According to the obtained characteristics, available toys in the market were studied. The results showed that while the relevant toys need to cover the relaxation phase through attractive characterization, they are either learning-oriented that do not appeal to the child, or are used in the pre-anger phase, or are designed for children with attention deficit disorder that do not have the expected effectiveness.

The design of the current research was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical method used to analyze the data was repeated measurement variance analysis (mixed design). 120 mothers who referred to the continuity center of Sari Municipality in 2018 were the research population. Two questionnaires of cognitive flexibility (Dennis and Vander Wall, 2010), parental stress questionnaire (Abidin, 1995) were the tools used in this research. In the first stage, among 60 mothers who received scores of 25-50% low in the questionnaires, 30 people were selected and were completely randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Educational classes based on acceptance and commitment were held in 8 sessions and the control group participated in classes with different content in 8 sessions. The time and place of the classes were on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Sari Municipality Continuity Hall. The results showed that education based on acceptance and commitment increases cognitive flexibility (effect size in time, 0.653) and (effect size in group, 0.331) and reduces parenting stress (effect size in time, 0.803) and (the effect size in the group is 0.416). It is concluded that education based on acceptance and commitment increases cognitive flexibility and reduces parenting stress of parents with preschool children. It is suggested to use the teaching protocol based on acceptance and commitment in schools, clinics related to education in the form of educational workshops with the aim of improving parenting styles and increasing children's adaptation.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate some psychometric features of Scaling of Theory-of-Mind Tasks (including adaptation, reliability, factor structure and validity) among Persian-speaking children. It was an adaptation and validation study of a psychological tool which administered in a correlational design. Population were Tehran preschool children and sample included 100 children from 4 to 7 years old in Tehran. Scaling of Theory-of-Mind Tasks and Steerneman ToM test-R were administered. Scaling of Theory-of-Mind Tasks in the Iranian sample has moderate reliability and one factor structure is more representative of seven tasks. Six tasks have the possibility of becoming a general scale and there were significant coefficient between six task and whole score of test, except for scale 1 (different desires). This test can be used well for research purposes as a multiple indicator of the development of the theory of mind. The developmental sequence of the subscales of the test is acceptable for the four subscales (including different beliefs, explicit false belief, content false belief, beliefs about emotions, and knowledge access. However, the age differences were not significant for two kinds of tasks (including different desires and real-apparent emotions). In addition, acceptable convergent validity was observed between the total score of the participants in this test and the score in two subscales of Steerneman ToM test-R. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the Scaling of Theory-of-Mind Tasks has the necessary features to be used in the field of measuring this component of social cognition in Iranian children
