Evaluación de la conducta a niños de 2 a 6 años de la parroquia Sinincay, Cuenca 2020

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Behavior in the first years of life is how children act and present themselves in the social, family, affective, and educational spheres. These behaviors change or mature according to the development of the child and to different social situations that surround them. However, these behaviors may be appropriate or inappropriate, and it is vitally important to recognize them to channel the appropriate behaviors since these define the child's capacity for self-regulation in any event and environment in which they develop.
