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 study demonstrates the importance of positive parenting in raising children in Ecuadorian schools. This approach promotes holistic development based on communication and affection. One objective of this research was to identify parents' perceptions of positive parenting in raising children. The research employed a quantitative approach, as it allows for obtaining precise information for more effective data collection. The Positive Parenting Scale E2P v.2 was administered to 20 selected caregivers, enabling us to evaluate the level of positive parenting and its connection to the behavior and well-being of the infants. The results showed that when parenting is based on affection, respect, and clear boundaries, children develop a secure attachment, knowing that their caregivers constitute their safe space. This allows them to explore the world without fear, fostering children's abilities, promoting autonomy, empathy, and communication, and creating a safe and stimulating environment for their holistic development.
