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 research aims to determine the prevalence of positive parenting practices in children aged 3 to 5 years in Ecuadorian schools. The study focuses on autonomy, which promotes well-being by developing children's cognitive skills, emphasizing the importance of secure attachment in child development. The work of several authors who have been fundamental to understanding effective attachment is highlighted. The Positive Parenting Scale (E2P) was used to evaluate each parent's parenting competencies through responses obtained from the instrument. This revealed different parenting styles that parents apply to their children. Each section was examined, and the sociodemographic characteristics of the parents, such as educational level and marital status, were also analyzed. This provided a significant insight into the caregivers' approach to their children, demonstrating and establishing the parents' training in providing the necessary support to manage vulnerable and unstable situations.
