    (2018) Vanegas Jara, Adriana Renata; Machuca Carpio, Ana Gabriela; Muñoz Pauta, Marco Antonio
    Human development, the scientific branch of psychology, focuses its attention on knowing the extent of changes that human beings undergo throughout the life cycle. The proposal of measurement tools for the evolutionary process where the normative and the non-normative in the development process is identified is continuous. From the measurement, it will be possible to carry out an intervention that consists of enhancing or leveling the functions according to the milestones of development corresponding to the ages of the individuals. The objective of the present study is to describe the harmonic development in children from 0 to 5 years old in the Paute canton, from the Harmonic Development Scale proposed by Javier Abellán (2011), an instrument that evaluates the quality, harmony of the evolution of the child and could predict future development. The study population was 77 caregivers of children attending public child care centers in the Paute canton. The harmony index registered in the research ranged from 0 to 98, with 30 children maintaining the index within the normal parameters and 47 participants who had an index below the accepted margin. This research concludes that the development of the boys and girls of the mentioned canton is above the chronological age, which is called a superdevelopment (development more than normal), however, this development is unbalanced since the Index of Harmony is shown below the accepted limit.
