Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this work was to identify social skills and behavior problems in children from 3 to 5 years old, in an institution in Quito. Fifteen children were observed, and a documentary / bibliographic research was structured, of a non-experimental quantitative-qualitative type, with a synthetic-analytical approach, using descriptive statistics to analyze the relationship between the socio-economic stratum of the child's representative, their level of schooling with the presence of social skills and the incidence of behavioral problems. A sociodemographic record was applied and the Merrel PKBS test, this last instrument was applied to parents / informants and teachers who evaluated the 15 children globally, it was evidenced that the social stratum does not significantly influence the development of social skills and / or behavioral problems in children. We identified the social skills and behavioral problems present in children, as well as potential cases of disruptive behaviors that need intervention.
