El desarrollo social de un infante está influenciado en gran medida por el contexto familiar, porque el microsistema brinda las primeras pautas de socialización, que en el transcurso del diario vivir permitirá la adquisición de habilidades sociales básicas. El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la importancia del contexto familiar en el desarrollo social en la infancia, mediante un estudio de caso de corte descriptivo. El sujeto de estudio fue un niño de 5 años que inició su escolaridad desde casa a través del programa denominado Servicio de Atención Familiar para la Primera Infancia (SAFPI), en la provincia de Pichincha, Ecuador. Para la recolección de información se empleó la técnica de la observación y varios instrumentos adicionales (anamnesis familiar, las fichas del Modelo Octogonal Integrador del Desarrollo Infantil (MOIDI), guía de entrevista, escala de estimación y lista de cotejo). Finalmente, para el análisis e interpretación de los resultados se aplicaron los métodos de la heurística y la hermenéutica. A partir de los datos obtenidos y según las dimensiones de análisis del contexto familiar se identificó que el sujeto de estudio se desenvuelve en un contexto familiar seguro, que le ha permitido desarrollar ciertas habilidades sociales básicas que posteriormente se ampliarán cuando el infante se adapte a un centro educativo regular. PALABRAS CLAVE: Desarrollo social; habilidades sociales; contexto familiar; Servicio de Atención Familiar para la Primera Infancia. The family context and children's social development: a case study ABSTRACT The social development of an infant is largely influenced by the family context because the microsystem provides the first guidelines for socialization, which in the course of daily living will allow the acquisition of basic social skills. The objective of this research is to analyze the importance of the family context in social development in childhood, through a descriptive case study. The study subject was a 5-year-old boy who began his schooling from home through the program called Family Attention Service for Early Childhood (SAFPI), in the province of Pichincha, Ecuador. To collect the information, the observation technique and several additional instruments were used (family anamnesis, the files of the Octagonal Integrative Model of Child Development (MOIDI), interview guide, estimation scale and checklist). Finally, for the analysis and interpretation of the results, the methods of heuristics and hermeneutics were applied. From the data obtained and according to the dimensions of the analysis of the family context, it was identified that the study subject develops in a safe family context, which has allowed him to develop certain basic social skills that will later be expanded when the infant adapts to a regular educational center. KEYWORDS: Social development; social skills; family context; Family Care Service for Early Childhood.

In contrast to the previous year, in the second wave the younger population and entire families have been affected at a given time. Medical management by the family physician involves not only individual treatment and monitoring, but also guiding the family as a whole on many related aspects. COVID family care is one of the cornerstones of the pandemic, and can present with unique challenges, differential symptomatology and clinical course, and multifaceted problems to the physician. Apart from treating the disease itself, the physician’s expanded role also involves advising the family on holistic health and well-being, isolation and household hygiene, available support services, along with stress management and psychological counseling. Sharing of insights and learnings from such situations can add value towards a more effective approach to COVID family care.
