Description
Summary:This introduction presents a general overview of the regulations, policies, programmes and actions which currently exist in Spain within the field of positive parenting. The articles featured in this special issue showcase initiatives aimed at fostering child development through the promotion of parenting competences and family support. They are divided into three sections. Those in the first section describe positive parenting support resources provided by institutions and NGOs. Those in the second analyze prenatal and perinatal periods from a positive parenting perspective and present programmes encompassing the period from birth to 11 years of age, including an online programme for the period from birth to age 3, a support programme for family reunification after temporary foster care and an analysis of family leisure time. The third section focuses on the assessment of family contexts and parenting skills throughout childhood, and presents a proposal for promoting good professional practice and programme design.
