Del golpe a la conexión: polifonía de voces para la prevención del castigo físico

Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore the recommendations of children, adolescents, mothers, fathers and caregivers to prevent physical punishment and cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment. The research is developed in the protective environment "La casita" of the NGO Bethany Christian Services, with the participation of two groups: children and adolescents from 6 to 15 years old from the program "Resilience and self-protection in children and adolescents- RANNA", and mothers and caregivers from the training program in protection of children and adolescents called "Caregivers of the present". The methodology used follows a qualitative approach, making use of ethnographic method tools. The research is immersed in the environment of training in humanized parenting practices, emphasizing the reflections that arise in children, adolescents, fathers, mothers and caregivers regarding the necessary transformations around the use of physical punishment in parenting, facilitating a deep understanding of the perspectives and needs of the participants. This collaborative and participatory approach not only compiles authentic recommendations, but also seeks to enrich the capacity of professionals to design culturally appropriate and genuinely effective prevention strategies.
