Análisis de Políticas Públicas y Programas Gubernamentales para la Disciplina sin Violencia en América Latina

This study is part of a Save the Children initiative to generate knowledge on progress in Latin America on supporting parents’ roles as care givers and promoting positive discipline and non-violent parenting practices.

The study is comprised of two phases. The first is a mapping of public policies and governmental programmes on positive parenting in Latin America. The second phase explores case studies of relevant experiences in Latin America. These studies were located in Costa Rica, Colombia, Paraguay, and Nicaragua.

Comparative and integrated analysis was used to generate lessons learned, best practices, and useful recommendations for policy and programme development to promote positive discipline or non-violent forms of parenting.
