The research community was mothers of children with physiological anxiety problems, extreme sensitivity and worry of children aged 7 to 10 years in Tehran, among them 30 mothers of children were selected by available sampling method and randomly replaced in two equal groups. (Each group 15 people). The experimental group received 8 90-minute online training sessions on parent-child interaction and personality-oriented parenting, and the control group did not receive any intervention. In order to analyze the data, first descriptive information related to the variables of the research was presented, and after confirming the assumptions, the covariance analysis was used to examine the results of the hypothesis test. The results showed that the intervention package of Ayberg's child-parent interaction and personality-oriented parenting on all 3 components of anxiety problems, i.e. (physiological anxiety, extreme sensitivity and worry) has been effective (p<0.01).
