Abstract

Child development in the framework of the life-cycle may be limited if variables are chosen, in addition to age, and limited to inevitable conditions for survival. This article presents a broad definition of development, goes beyond the life-cycle framework and presents an evolutionary structure of care, providing evidence of the importance of considering daily and contingent activities. For this purpose, in addition to a previous conceptual discussion on an evolutionary structure of socio-cognitive care and development, some results of the Equal Start of Life Program (Inicio Parejo de la Vida in Spanish) was analyzed and carried out with a cross-sectional design and a representative population sample of two regions of Colombia: 15 municipalities in the Sabana Centro de Cundinamarca area and five municipalities in Boyacá. The data of 1177 primary caregiver-child pairs is analyzed when responding to surveys on reading, playing and other activities considered to be constitutive and indispensable in the adopted definition of child development and care. The results indicate a significant relationship between care variables and observation of the development of boys and girls between 0 and 6 years old (F(37, 229) = 26.27, p <.0001, R 2 = .15). An adverse situation is found for the potential of individual development for more than 80% of the participants, and two hypotheses are generated to discuss and continue in future controlled studies: neglect of daily reading, play, painting and sports activities, among others. , how interactions between caregivers and children, plus another as an alternative and within the studies of cognitive scarcity (Scarcity) reported in other topics related to poverty and its effects on development.
