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

Abstract

Abstract: Positive parenting is crucial for a child's emotional and behavioral development, which is why the following research was conducted to understand the relationship between fathers and children in early childhood education. For this purpose, we conducted in-depth research where samples were taken of children's behavior and care at home. This was done through a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions in which parents must basically answer questions about their child's behavior in terms of bonding, protective, formative, and reflective skills, which are crucial for identifying support needs in their educational training. It has been shown that a lack of family support at this stage marks a setback in a child's development, causing learning problems, which is why it is essential to provide guidance from the early years of life as the foundations for adult life are laid. In conclusion, this study focuses on parental competencies in a child's early childhood, providing significant knowledge to improve parenting practices and, consequently, the development and well-being of children.
