Parent education program to promote effective communication
Abstract
Effective family communication plays a key role in the emotional, social, and educational development of children and adolescents. However, research shows a weakening of these dynamics due to factors such as family diversity, daily stress, and the presence of digital technologies. This article presents a Parents’ School proposal aimed at strengthening family communication skills through positive parenting and emotional education. Based on a contextual diagnosis, priority areas such as active listening, emotional expression, and conflict resolution are identified. The program is organized into thematic modules and uses a participatory methodology that places families at the center of the learning process. It also includes a comprehensive evaluation system to assess its impact and transferability. The proposal seeks to improve family coexistence and foster closer collaboration between schools and families from a preventive and inclusive perspective.
