Abstract

Abstract: This research studies positive parenting in the upbringing of children aged 3 to 5 years old in Early Education Centers in Ecuador, with the main objective of determining the level of positive parenting skills developed by mothers and fathers in the upbringing of children in Early Education. This study focuses on understanding whether communication, affection, and support practices influence emotional regulation in early childhood. A quantitative approach with an exploratory scope was used and applied to a sample of 20 representatives from a public urban center in the city of Logroño to accurately assess the dimensions of positive parenting. The results allowed us to analyze that the participants are at risk, highlighting the need to strengthen skills related to affective communication, the establishment of consistent limits, and emotional management. In conclusion, it is essential to promote support strategies aimed at families to consolidate skills that favor safe, affective, and stimulating environments for the comprehensive development of children.
