In previous years, the mother was the one who had the responsibility of the household chores and the upbringing of the child, but due to the changes in the family structure, at present the father has been allowed to be present in the activities and care of the minor, not only as a figure of authority and financial support. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the relationship between parental involvement and the socio-emotional development of their children between 3 and 6 years of age.
