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 overall objective of this study was to determine the positive parenting skills developed by fathers and/or mothers in raising children aged 3 to 5 years at the Basic Education School in the parish of Bolaspamba. To this end, a quantitative approach was used, and the E2Pv2 Positive Parenting Scale was used as the instrument. The sample consisted of nine parents of children in grades 1 and 2 at the institution under study. The results showed that most parents had highly developed protective skills, followed by formative and reflective skills. Furthermore, 65% of the participants were in the optimal zone of the parenting skills profile. Furthermore, it was evident that sociodemographic variables such as schooling do not alone determine the development of positive parenting. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen parenting skills and access to support networks, in which families are accompanied from a comprehensive approach, to promote child development with adequate parenting practices.
