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 thesis focuses on positive parenting in the upbringing of children aged 3 to 5 years in early education centers in Ecuador. The main objective was to determine the positive parenting competencies developed by fathers and/or mothers in raising children within this age group. A quantitative approach with an exploratory and descriptive design was used, involving a sample of 20 parents of early childhood students. The Positive Parenting Scale (E2Pv2) was the instrument applied. Results revealed that most parents are at risk due to a lack of connection with their children; mothers remain the primary caregivers and educators, and single or divorced parents demonstrate better parenting practices. It is concluded that the exercise of parenting competencies greatly influences the integral development of children.
