Abstract

Parenting styles are the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs that parents assume around health, nutrition, healthy physical and social environments, as well as their children's learning opportunities at home. The adoption of a particular parenting style may be mediated by demographic and socioeconomic factors, therefore, different parenting styles may or may not favor healthy eating behaviors in children that in the future reduce the risk of malnutrition, overweight, obesity and chronic non-communicable diseases. It is for this reason that the population under5 years of age is considered according to the Comprehensive Health Care Model as a priority attention group to which we must provide comprehensive health care. Objectives: to determine the parental styles of infant feeding and their relationship with the nutritional status of preschool children, to evaluate their nutritional status and to design an intervention plan that promotes healthy infant feeding styles. Methodology: It is a research has a quantitative, descriptive and prospective approach. For the calculation of the sample, the Sample Size Determination program was applied, conforming a sample of 120 people based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. For the analysis of the information, the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 program will be used, where the variables based on Pearson's x2 were related. To obtain the data, the parenting practices questionnaire to Promote Health Habits in early childhood will be applied to caregivers and anthropometric measures will be taken for preschool children to evaluate their nutritional status.
