Parental Style Relationship, Child Behaviors (Prosocial and Risk). A State of the Art

Abstract

According to studies carried out, the activities that the father and mother put into practice in the process of care, attention, socialization and education of their sons and daughters, exert a decisive influence on the behaviors that children present between the ages of 5 and 6 years, when they enter the school context and begin their interactions with others of the same age. In order to deepen the understanding of said incidence, a bibliographic review was carried out, whose axes of analysis are parental exercise, childhood and the educational process, which allowed gathering information to establish the state of the matter and contribute to the achievement of the objective of research, in relation to, analyze the incidence of the exercise of parenthood in the prosocial and risk behaviors that infants manifest in preschool grades, through a study with a qualitative approach, taking into account that this type of research is comprehensive and interpretive, that is to say, it is a construction of meanings rather than verification of hypotheses. As main findings of the review, it is highlighted that: most of the works consulted focus on analyzing the subject in a single population (parents or children); the research interests do not address the preventive or early approach, focusing only on implementing proposals to improve parental exercise or child behavior; Two new views on childhood provided by the sociology of childhood and the concept of contemporary childhood are identified. Similarly, an incipient work is detected from the positive parenting approach in Latin America. These findings allow us to conclude that it is necessary to deepen the study of the relationship between parenthood and the integral development of early childhood, especially in the acquisition of healthy prosocial behaviors.
