Fortalecimiento de pautas de crianza mediante actividades rectoras: Propuesta pedagógica integradora para niños de 3 a 5 años

Abstract

This working paper examines how parenting patterns can be strengthened through strategic implementation of governing activities in early childhood contexts. The research involves children between 3 and 5 years old belonging to the family modality of the Terneritos program in Hato Corozal, Casanare. The study arises from observed needs where multiple families face challenges establishing appropriate limits, applying positive discipline, and maintaining solid affective bonds with their children. The methodological proposal integrates play, art, literature, and environmental exploration as transformative pedagogical tools, recognizing these activities as fundamental rights during early childhood. Preliminary findings reveal that when families incorporate these practices systematically, substantial changes are generated both in child behavior and relational dynamics within the family nucleus. This approach promotes nurturing environments where children develop autonomy, socioemotional competencies and cognitive abilities, while caregivers acquire concrete tools to educate from mutual respect. The research contributes to the early childhood education field by offering a practical framework that links contemporary pedagogical theory with specific realities of Colombian rural communities.
