Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the moderating role of parent-child interaction in relationship of parenting practices with behavioral problems of elementary students. The method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population was all students of secondary elementary and their parents in Bojnourd. Three hundred and seventy two students of secondary elementary were selected by cluster sampling. The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (Frick, 1991), Parent-Child Interaction (Lange et al, 2002) and rating behavior problems Scale (Connors, 1990) were completed by participants. Data were analyzed by correlation and Hayes regression analysis. The results showed that the dimensions of corporal punishment and lack of parental supervision were positively correlated and the dimensions of parenting and participation were negatively correlated with behavioral problems. Parent-child interaction was also negatively associated with behavioral problems. The results of Hayes regression analysis showed that parent-child interaction, child-mother interaction and child-father interaction moderate the relationships of parenting dimensions of poor supervision, corporal punishment, parent-child participation and positive parenting with behavioral problems. The results show that when parent-child interaction is strong, ineffective methods of poor supervision and corporal punishment do not increase behavioral problems. Also, despite positive parenting, behavioral problems will not be reduced if there is no strong interaction with the children. Therefore, the impact of parenting on behavioral problems is influenced by the parent-child interaction.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of education based on acceptance and commitment on parenting stress and cognitive flexibility of parents with preschool children. 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.
