Objectives:
to describe the experiences and parenting practices of primary caregivers linked to the Family Health Strategy regarding the development of children aged 0 to 6 years based on the Nurturing Care Framework.
Methods:
a qualitative study was conducted with 13 caregivers of children followed by the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Recife, Pernambuco. Data collection took place from December 2022 to April 2023, through semi-structured interviews. Data were subjected to thematic analysis.
Results:
five thematic categories were systematized, arranged according to the Nurturing Care Framework: "Good health"; "Adequate nutrition"; "Responsive caregiving"; "Early learning"; and "Safety and security".
Final Considerations:
parental experiences and practices were considered in all areas of the framework, even within the context of vulnerability experienced by families. Positive parenting practices require a reorganization of healthcare services, starting with the implementation of interventions that encourage holistic child development.
