Abstract

Abstract: This research addressed the topic: Positive parenting in raising children aged 3 to 5 years in early childhood education centers in Ecuador. The objective was to determine the positive parenting competencies developed by fathers and/or mothers in raising children aged 3 to 5 years in early childhood education centers in Ecuador. A quantitative approach and exploratory and descriptive research were used. The Positive Parenting Scale (E2P V2) was used as a data collection instrument. The sample consisted of 20 parents. The results show that parents between 31 and 40 years of age experience greater difficulties in exercising their parenting skills, women are more involved in raising their children, and parents in at-risk areas lack parenting competencies related to emotional support. It was concluded that good parenting practices strengthen children's overall development.
