Abstract
The aim was to evaluate social skills and behavior in children from 3 to 5 years of age. The research was conducted at the "TIWINZA" Basic Education School, located in the Buena Fe canton, province of Los Ríos. The skills of 16 children were evaluated through surveys to their parents or legal representatives, and the proposed survey was used for this purpose. Eighty-seven percent and 75% of the children were located within a medium level of cooperation, interaction and social independence. Regarding social skills, 75% of the children were located between the medium and significant deficit levels. The 62.5%, 56.3%, and 37.5% did not present problems of social isolation, anxiety/complaints, or selfish or egocentric behavior, respectively, and only one student showed a significant problem. Finally, 56% of the children externalized their emotions easily. These findings indicate that most of the children studied did not present significant behavioral problems.
