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

Abstract

Abstract: The study titled Positive Parenting in the Upbringing of Children Aged 3 to 5 in Early Education Centers in Ecuador aims to examine positive parenting and its factors. A quantitative study was conducted with an exploratory and descriptive design, using deductive, analytical and statistical methods. The sample consisted of 20 parents of children aged 3 to 4 years, who were administered the E2P v2 Positive Parenting Scale, which assesses four areas: relational, formative, protective and reflective. The results indicate that the majority of participants exhibit a parenting profile in the risk zone, reflecting a limited capacity to establish secure emotional bonds, in contrast to a minority who demonstrate optimal competencies. It is concluded that parents require support to strengthen their competencies, particularly in strategies for building assertive communication with their children.
