Fraca convivência paterna e seu impacto no estado emocional das crianças em idade pré-escolar: estudo de caso de três mães e três crianças do bairro Polana Caniço “B”

Abstract

This monograph deals with poor paternal coexistence and its impact on the emotional state of pre-school children: a case study of three mothers and children from the Polana Caniço "B" neighbourhood. This is a qualitative, exploratory study in terms of its approach and objectives. It was carried out in the Polana Caniço "B" neighbourhood. The children were given the family drawing test and the mothers were given an interview script with a total of 5 questions aimed at answering the research objectives. The data analysis in this study was based on the participants' speeches in the semi-structured interviews, as well as the interpretation of the children's family drawings according to the drawing interpretation manual. The results indicate that poor paternal coexistence can have a negative impact on children's emotional state, such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and the need for social approval. However, strategies and interventions are presented that can be adopted to promote greater paternal participation in child development and improve children's emotional state. Support and guidance programmes for fathers, public policies that encourage responsible fatherhood and raising awareness among awareness to fathers about the importance of their active presence in their children's lives are pointed out as possible solutions.
