Abstract

In the so called Information and Knowledge Society, social and cultural capital are expected values. Despite the technological and scientific progres and the unstoppable development of Information and Communication Technologies, the doubts families feel about how to performe their parental role increases. Although the range of resources parents and children have at their disposal to get information to resolve those doubts is very wide (printed material, telephone, chats, social networks…), it seems that there is still lack of communication among the family members, which bring about conflicts which are not always solved in a constructive way. So, it is relevant to build nets which may support the educational and socialization role of the family. This paper analizes how 689 fathers and mothers perceive themselves regading communication strategies with their children. Variables related to communication styles with children, parental skills of emotional self-regulation, and strategies to solve conflicts have been analyzed. In order to collect qualitative and quantitative data, surveys, self-information, participative observation and focus groups techniques were used. The quantitative data was processed with descriptive and variables association statistics. The final conclusions indicate that parents demand information to better cope with their parental role, thus, parenting programms should be developed on a community base. Also, taking advantage of the wide scope the Net provides us, parents´ participation in Blogs and Virtual Learning Communities should be promoted. These resources may be understood as networks for social support, and ideal meeting places for exchanging concerns, experiences and worries. All in all, will promote the development of “Positive Parenting” as expected by the European Council.
