Contenido principal del artículo
La primera infancia es una etapa fundamental en el desarrollo humano, donde las interacciones familiares tempranas sientan las bases del ajuste socioemocional. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre los estilos de crianza parentales y las conductas agresivas en niños de cinco años de la Institución Educativa N°185, en Huaycán, Lima, Perú. Se implementó un diseño cuantitativo, no experimental y correlacional, con una muestra de 60 niños. Los resultados revelaron una correlación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre los estilos de crianza y las conductas agresivas (Rho = 0.842, p < 0.05). Específicamente, se encontraron asociaciones significativas tanto con la agresión física (Rho = 0.798, p < 0.05) como con la agresión verbal (Rho = 0.887, p < 0.05). Estos hallazgos sugieren que las prácticas parentales que carecen de calidez y estructura se asocian con una mayor frecuencia de comportamientos agresivos. Las conclusiones subrayan el impacto decisivo de la dinámica familiar en el desarrollo de la agresión infantil y resaltan la necesidad de implementar programas de intervención temprana centrados en el fortalecimiento de competencias parentales y la promoción de la regulación emocional en el entorno educativo.
Early childhood is a foundational stage in human development, where early family interactions lay the groundwork for socio-emotional adjustment. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parenting styles and aggressive behaviors in five-year-old children from Educational Institution No. 185, in Huaycán, Lima, Peru. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational design was implemented with a sample of 60 children. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation between parenting styles and aggressive behaviors (Rho = 0.842, p < 0.05). Specifically, significant associations were found with both physical aggression (Rho = 0.798, p < 0.05) and verbal aggression (Rho = 0.887, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that parenting practices lacking in warmth and structure are associated with a higher frequency of aggressive behaviors. The conclusions underscore the decisive impact of family dynamics on the development of child aggression and highlight the need to implement early intervention programs focused on strengthening parenting skills and promoting emotional regulation in the educational setting.
