The research instruments included the Preschool Children Behavioral Problems Questionnaire, the Preschool Children Aggression Scale, and the Children Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS software and univariate analysis of covariance. Results: The findings showed that compassion-focused therapy training was effective in reducing aggression (P < 0.001), behavioral problems (P < 0.001) and anxiety (P < 0.001) in children.
