Abstract

Abstract: This research, "Positive Parenting in the Raising of Children Ages 3 to 5 in Ecuador's Early Childhood Education Centers," aimed to determine the positive parenting competencies developed by fathers and mothers in the raising of children ages 3 to 5. A quantitative approach and an exploratory and descriptive design were used. The sample consisted of 20 parents from preschool. The instrument used was the Positive Parenting Scale (E2Pv2). The results show that the majority of participants seek to maintain good communication, strong emotional bonds, and a healthy balance in order to foster independence, autonomy, and confidence in their children. It is also evident that parents aged 31 to 40 are in the optimal range for their maturity and emotional stability, and those parents with basic education exercise parental competencies with greater responsibility in their upbringing. It is concluded that the exercise of parental competencies allows for the proper overall development of children and also promotes respectful and empathetic parenting.
