Las competencias emocionales en educación infantil

The genocide against the Tutsi destroyed the social fabric of Rwanda, and its traumatic and violent consequences have received much attention amongst researchers. Yet less attention has been paid to stories of positive change. Alongside reconciliation at a national level, individual stories of resilience have emerged. This contribution aims to move beyond the dominant narratives of the genocide by examining the themes of resilience and post-traumatic growth in the contemporary testimonies of Rwandans.

La violencia en parejas de jóvenes: Situación y pautas

In Spain, an average of 480 children per 100,000 is receiving some type of temporary care, and the reunification process is typically lengthy. Providing the biological family with specific training as part of the reunification process is key to solving this problem. Although previous research and social policy have emphasized the importance of such training to reunification, the training has not been fully implemented in Spain. This study investigates the specific training needs during the transition phase of the reunification process in which the child prepares to return home. The data were obtained from focus groups and through semi-structured interviews with 135 participants: 63 professionals from the Child Protection System and 42 parents and 30 children who have undergone or are currently undergoing reunification. A qualitative methodology and Atlas.ti software were used to analyze the interview content. The results indicate three specific training needs: (a) understanding the reasons for reunification and the reunification phases; (b) empowerment strategies; and (c) social support. These findings suggest the best practices for formulating specific support programs for this population during the reunification transition period.

Child Welfare and Successful Reunification through the Socio-Educative Process: Training Needs among Biological Families in Spain

Rapid return of children in residential care to family as a result of COVID-19: Scope, challenges, and recommendations.

Professional support of families that are under temporary protection, with the goal of reunification, is necessary for helping families re-establish their family dynamics. Without this support, the conditions that contributed to child abuse and neglect will likely persist. In this context, the attitude of professionals towards positive parenting and child participation is a decisive factor. The quantitative study presented here contributes knowledge regarding these 2 variables. The study was conducted with 106 professionals who work in the child protection system. The results show a high degree of consensus among professionals regarding the following practices: (a) incorporating positive parenting into family reunification processes; (b) training the biological parents in parenting skills; and (c) promoting the active participation of children in foster care and reunification. Regarding the latter point, the study found that older and more experienced professionals are more open and inclined to promote participation in family reunification processes. The practical implications of the results invite us to review attitudinal competencies training for professionals working in child protection services, focusing on encouraging a positive attitude towards the parental competencies of the biological family and the active participation of children in foster care and reunification. These professionals' attitudes are a key factor in mediating the process of family reunification.

The aim of this review was to explore, through a systematic search of the literature, the relationship between art and well-being and the key elements involved. A relevant conclusion drawn from our findings is that participation in an artistic activity encourages personal well-being because it permits a direct and sincere connection with the individual’s emotions. Such a process implies a threedimensional strengthening: social (I am in a relationship); emotional (I am well); and cognitive (positive thinking). Another conclusion is that whilst many of the studies are relatively recent, the positive relationship between art and well-being is well supported by the literature. Further research is required, however, to provide greater validity to our findings.
