Abstract

This study analyzed the socialization practices and goals of 47 mothers who live in rural areas of Cundinamarca and Boyacá. Using a semistructured interview, mothers were asked about how guided their interaction with children aged from three to four years in four everyday situations (feeding, bathing, playing and going to sleep). The results indicate that although the emphasis in specific socialization goals and practices changes in each situation, mothers have a general orientation to reach in their children the development of an autonomous relational self, which according to Kagitcibasi (2005) implies a balance between practices promoting the independence and practices encouraging the interdependence.
