El marco de los 5 factores de protección Cinco factores protectores son la base del enfoque de Fortalecimiento de las familias: Resiliencia de los padres Conexiones sociales Apoyo concreto en tiempos de necesidad Conocimiento de la crianza y el desarrollo infantil Competencia social y emocional de los niños Los estudios de investigación apoyan la noción de sentido común de que cuando estos factores protectores están bien establecidos en una familia, la probabilidad de abuso y negligencia infantil disminuye. Las investigaciones muestran que los 5 factores protectores también son factores "promotores" que construyen las fortalezas familiares y un entorno familiar que promueve el desarrollo óptimo de niños y jóvenes. Resiliencia de los padres Nadie puede eliminar el estrés de la crianza de los hijos, pero la capacidad de resiliencia de los padres puede afectar la forma en que los padres lidian con el estrés. La resiliencia es la capacidad de gestionar y recuperarse de todo tipo de desafíos que surgen en la vida de cada familia. Significa encontrar formas de resolver problemas, construir y mantener relaciones de confianza, incluidas las relaciones con su propio hijo, y saber cómo buscar ayuda cuando sea necesario. Conexiones sociales Los amigos, familiares, vecinos y miembros de la comunidad brindan apoyo emocional, ayudan a resolver problemas, ofrecen consejos para los padres y brindan asistencia concreta a los padres. Las redes de apoyo son esenciales para los padres y también ofrecen oportunidades para que las personas “retribuyan”, una parte importante de la autoestima y un beneficio para la comunidad. Las familias aisladas pueden necesitar ayuda adicional para establecer relaciones positivas. Apoyo concreto en tiempos de necesidad Satisfacer las necesidades económicas básicas como la comida, la vivienda, la ropa y la atención médica es esencial para que las familias prosperen. Asimismo, cuando las familias enfrentan una crisis como violencia doméstica, enfermedad mental o abuso de sustancias, es necesario que existan servicios y apoyos adecuados para brindar estabilidad, tratamiento y ayuda a los miembros de la familia para superar la crisis. Conocimiento de la crianza y el desarrollo infantil La información precisa sobre el desarrollo infantil y las expectativas apropiadas para el comportamiento de los niños en todas las edades ayudan a los padres a ver a sus niños y jóvenes de manera positiva y promover su desarrollo saludable. La información puede provenir de muchas fuentes, incluidos los miembros de la familia, así como las clases de educación para padres y la navegación por Internet. Los estudios demuestran que la información es más eficaz cuando llega en el momento preciso en que los padres la necesitan para comprender a sus propios hijos. Los padres que experimentaron una disciplina severa u otras experiencias negativas en la infancia pueden necesitar ayuda adicional para cambiar los patrones de crianza que aprendieron cuando eran niños. Competencia social y emocional de los niños La capacidad de un niño o joven para interactuar positivamente con otros, autorregular su comportamiento y comunicar sus sentimientos de manera efectiva tiene un impacto positivo en sus relaciones con su familia, otros adultos y compañeros. Los comportamientos desafiantes o el desarrollo retrasado crean un estrés adicional para las familias, por lo que la identificación temprana y la asistencia tanto para los padres como para los niños pueden evitar los resultados negativos y mantener el desarrollo encaminado.
