La parentalidad positiva en la crianza de los niños de 3 a 5 años de los centros de educación inicial del Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This research proposes to address and analyze aspects of positive parenting in the upbringing of children aged 3 to 5, applied to the population of an educational unit located in the city of Santo Domingo, as the focal point of the study. It adopts a quantitative approach, using the E2P V2 Positive Parenting Scale as the main data collection instrument, applied to 20 parents through a survey. The methodology included a literature review and statistical analysis, adopting a quantitative methodological design with an exploratory-descriptive approach. Deductive, analytical, synthetic, and statistical research methods were employed as key elements to determine the positive parenting competencies developed by the parents or caregivers in raising children in early childhood. Similarly, the perceptions of the parents were identified, highlighting the bonding and protective skills, as well as the healthy parenting practices implemented in their homes, which promote child well-being and take care of children's vulnerabilities in the early stages.
