Abstract

Nowadays, family co-responsability which implies a new model of shared fatherhood and motherhood, is on one of the most important topics when we analyse and study families’ dynamics. The aim of these pages is to present the programme Constructing the daily routines. A programme of family education which has been designed by the research group ASOCED to work with mothers and fathers with children in Pre-primary and Primary Education. We consider this is an important period in parents and children lives as it is in this moment when families start the construction of their educational model in cooperation with another relevant socialization institution, that is, the school. The programme model is based on parents and mothers’ implicit conceptions of the education and socialization of their daughters and sons. Taking these preconceptions into account, the programme tries to check family dynamics, to reconstruct the frame of relations, the division of the tasks and the redistribution of responsibilities, so that habits of equality, solidarity and shared responsibility are promoted in mothers and fathers. Therefore, the programme focuses on the transformation of families attitudes, preferences and beliefs dealing with sexual roles and moreover on the different ways of combining the remunerated and domestic work. The main conclusion could be that it would be impossible to desire and aspire to democratic, egalitarian, participative, adaptative and tolerant societies and families when, inside them, models and spaces of experience of the above mentioned values are not generated and promoted.
