Objective.

This paper shows the results of the research “Practices of Child Rearing in Teenage Mothers” in the Development category, characterizing child rearing practices that promote child development which, in turn, promote wellbeing and satisfaction with life.

Methodology.

The methodological design is holistic-descriptive.

Results.

Three subcategories were found: cognitive, in which mothers recognize the implementation of games and mathematical exercises; corporal, since it promotes physical stimulation and participation in control and development programs; and, aesthetic since it provides spaces for the child to value their ways of feeling and interacting.

Conclusion.

Women, in their role as mothers, become facilitators of children’s development. However, it is a task that society attributes to women, in a context that increasingly assigns them more tasks in child parenting, but leaves them more lonely to assume such tasks.
