Perfil parental en familias en situación de pobreza y extrema pobreza con niños de 8 a 12 años de la parroquia San Pedro del Cebollar en el periodo septiembre 2025 - febrero 2026

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand how conditions of poverty and extreme poverty influence parenting skills within the rural community of San Pedro del Cebollar. It seeks to explore the relationship between the parental profile and the socioeconomic context of families with children aged 8 to 12. It also seeks to identify predominant parenting skills by applying a quantitative correlational approach and using the Positive Parenting Scale (P2S) with a purposive sample of 30 parents or caregivers. It aims to identify parenting practices, reflecting on how structural factors can condition or determine the exercise of parenting. This research not only aims to generate empirical knowledge but also to open a discussion on the importance of designing intervention strategies and public policies that strengthen parenting skills in rural contexts. Ultimately, it reaffirms the need to consider parenting training as a priority to ensure comprehensive child development in vulnerable settings.
