The population includes the mothers with a 3-6-year-old child in the selected kindergartens of Alborz Province center (2019-2020), among them, 99 people were selected by stratified random sampling method. After dropping 9 people, the number of samples reached 90 people who were divided into three groups of 30 people. Data collection was done with using a questionnaire of mothers' awareness of sexual education of pre-school children of Mobaradi, et al. For experimental data analysis, descriptive (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential (paired t-tests and chi-square) statistics were used in SPSS software version 19.
Results: In educational pack group, the mothers’ average awareness was reported 28.63 before the education and 30.87 after the education and in group discussion; the mean scores were 30.63 and 34.17 respectively. The comparison of the groups showed that in discussion group, awareness increased more than educational pack group and control.
