Abstract

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to determine the positive parenting skills developed by fathers and/or mothers in raising children aged 3 to 5 years in the Early Childhood Education Centers of Ecuador. The methodology of this research is quantitative, and the Positive Parenting Scale Manual E2P V.2 was used to create a questionnaire consisting of 60 questions, which was applied to 20 parents from the Santa María de la Esperanza Private Educational Unit located in the Chordeleg canton. Regarding the results, they show that 90% of parents have a better ability to interpret their children's communicative signals and provide a better positive response. They also possess knowledge, attitudes, and daily practices aligned with these competencies, which help their children achieve better development. It can be said that the parents have successfully engaged in actions that reflect these competencies which allow them to think about practices to assess the course of their children's development.
