Abstract

The present intervention project was based on developing strategies against stress in the children of the "Los Jóvenes del Futuro del Sur de Quito" Foundation. A qualitative, descriptive and interpretive methodology was used that allowed the collection and systematization of results, this through the application of a questionnaire for the evaluation of coping in children of the foundation with ages between 8 and 11 years. , based on the Child Daily Stress Scale (EECI) as a psychological instrument, which allowed to demonstrate; Infants are constantly subjected to daily child stress, this implies poor school performance and psychosocial problems, which affect their mental health. It was found that there is a weak significant relationship with the active solution sub-scale and children's daily stress, which alludes to the fact that the more active solution the less stress. The elaboration of a didactic guide in PPT format was carried out for the development of stress coping strategies in boys and girls, in order to mitigate or control the psycho-emotional effects, in infants who use the programming of the foundation. Finally, the activities proposed in the didactic guide in infants were executed, applying a pre-test based on the indicators shown in the ECI in order to validate the results of the intervention, evidencing significant and positive results.
