El apoyo familiar en las tareas escolares. Presencia del descuido socio-psicológico

Abstract

In the following investigation, the behavior of 128 individuals from the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM) is analyzed to know how they interact with their minors in the performance of school tasks. This act of help is important for the children’s learning. But, when inadequate pressure is given, it can produce an extra load of stress that, in addition, becomes a new obstacle to overcome. Such pressure, with which it is sought to ensure school success, can cause psychological and emotional damage, including physical violence. This increases the levels of anxiety and worry in minors, so these measures are counterproductive. The results show that just under three quarters of the families surveyed consider it good to apply corrective measures, and one out of every ten they slap them. While, barely half consider it appropriate to reward their performance. In addition, some ways of intervening are indicated so that the family improves its forms of support.
