La parentalidad positiva en la crianza de los niños de 3 a 5 años de los Centros de Educación Inicial del Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The research carried out studies positive parenting in the upbringing of children aged 3 to 5 years in early childhood education centers in Ecuador. The main objective of this study is to identify the parenting skills used in families during home upbringing, analyzing the sociodemographic characteristics of fathers and mothers to understand the influence of the children's environment. The design implemented is descriptive, for which the positive parenting scale (E2P) was applied, which facilitated the measurement of data obtained from 20 parents from the educational center in the city of Quito. Thanks to the analysis carried out, it is possible to identify the trends of the parental group based on quantitative data for an interpretation of the results. In conclusion, there is no evidence of secure emotional bonds, nor is there any evidence of knowledge about the application of parenting skills. However, clear and adequate communication between them is observed, which shows that parents have limited reflection on their parenting and educational practices in the everyday environment.
