In recent years there has been a considerable increase in the interest in the influence of parenting skills and styles on children's behavior problems. Some studies are being carried out in our context in order to understand more precisely how parental educational practices can act as a risk factor for the development of disruptive behaviors since childhood. In this line, the ELISA study lays the groundwork for a longitudinal research whose main objective is the early detection of behavioral problems in early childhood, and delves into the relevance of inadequate parental skills as one of the determinants of behavioral problems. In addition, many studies have been developed in different regions of our country to further investigate the influence of parental skills and styles on problematic behaviors in the adolescent stage. In this sense, it has been found that parental styles influence the manifestation of internalizing problems as well as externalizing problems and antisocial behaviors in adolescents. Within parental styles and abilities, parental knowledge, and, especially, the self-disclosure of information by the child, have been shown to be protective variables against the manifestation of antisocial behavior in adolescence. Therefore, the relevance of parental skills in the development of behavioral problems has been considered essential to elaborate prevention and intervention programs that affect these variables. Thus, the Family Competence Program has shown positive results in strengthening and promoting family relationships, positive parental skills, and children's prosocial behavior.
