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 analyzes how positive parenting influences the upbringing of children aged 3 to 5 attending preschools in Ecuador. It examines parental bonding, formative, protective, and reflective competencies, with the goal of understanding child development in the emotional and social spheres. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, utilizing quantitative tools such as the Positive Parenting Scale. The survey examines family data and parent-child relationships. The results showed that parenting is based on affection, respect, and strong parental involvement, which generates positive effects on children's development. Some limitations were also identified, such as a lack of parental education and family affection, which impacts family bonds. This research proposes strengthening parental guidance through educational settings, promoting respectful parenting environments. The results are expected to serve as a basis for timely interventions in the educational and social spheres, primarily at the preschool level.
