Abstract

Abstract: This research, entitled "Positive Parenting in the Upbringing of Children Aged 3 to 5 in Early Childhood Education Centers in Ecuador," focused on secure attachment and parenting styles in child development. The objective was to determine positive parenting competencies, as these are considered important in child development. Regarding methodology, quantitative and exploratory research was used, allowing for the collection of direct data. The E2P V2 Positive Parenting Scale was administered to 20 parents. This instrument facilitated the analysis of parenting styles. Among the most important findings, it was observed that most parents had secondary education and that, for the most part, mothers assumed the daily responsibility for raising their children. Furthermore, a high percentage of practices associated with positive parenting were found. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to carry out stimulation and care activities, given that these directly influence the physical, psychological, and emotional development of infants.
