The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maternal perfectionism and mental health of preschool children in Tehran. The statistical population included all preschool students in District 2 of Tehran in the academic years 2018-2019. Their number was 476 this year. Using Krejcie and Morgan table and one-stage cluster random sampling, 220 people were selected as the statistical sample. The mental health questionnaire of Terry Short et al., Mental health questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaires was assessed and confirmed using content validity and reliability by Cronbach's alpha. Descriptive statistics (mean, etc.) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test, multiple regression test & independent t-test) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that mental health increases with increasing perfectionism and positive perfectionism among mothers. With the increase of negative perfectionism among the screws, the mental health of preschool students decreases. Positive perfectionism has been able to have a positive effect on the mental health variable of newcomers and predict it, and negative perfectionism has been able to have a negative impact on the mental health variable of newcomers and predict it, between mental health in both groups of male and female newcomers there is no significant difference

The mental health questionnaire of Terry Short et al., Mental health questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaires was assessed and confirmed using content validity and reliability by Cronbach's alpha. Descriptive statistics (mean, etc.) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test, multiple regression test & independent t-test) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that mental health increases with increasing perfectionism and positive perfectionism among mothers. With the increase of negative perfectionism among the screws, the mental health of preschool students decreases.
