Abrazos de algodón: tamborilea el corazón, florece la canción en mi interior. Cuidado y autocuidado del cuerpo en la infancia desde el desarrollo neurocognitivo.

Abstract

The present research aims to understand the influence of care practices on the physical, emotionnal and cognitive development of children, from recognizing the body as a territory of transformation that is surrounded by affective processes in the central role of understanding the world and the recognition of the human being as a functional unit that integrates corporeality and cognition. This work addresses the thematic core of the body in childhood, linked to upbringing, care, language and neurocognition, applied with the participatory action research method (IAP), to build collective tools, according to the realities exposed by the adult carers who participated in the project. The findings analyzed by means of the methodical hermeneutics of Dilthey demonstrate that experiences in childhood model our behavior, however, through the body we learn and transform our environment, thanks to experiences loaded with meaning. The above, reaffirms the positions of Human Development raised by Sen, Nussbaum and Delval, which propose that the environment, emotions and riches for quality of life promote the development of individual capacities for the construction of more empathetic subjects, patient and resilient in a modern society full of zeal and immediacy.
