One of the assumptions of this work is that human development takes place in contexts. It is believed that understanding the development during Early Childhood Education is necessary to understand the different contexts that are part of children s lives. To this end, the model of Urie Bronfenbrenner on the social context, in which children develop, will be used. The concept of Development Niche proposed by Sara Hrarkness and Charles Super was used, which contributes to the understanding of the role of context in development. This thesis aimed to investigate the relationship between parental educational practices and family characteristics with the transgressive behaviors of children aged three to five years in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Fifty parents and 6 teachers from 1 daycare center located in a favela in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro and 1 Child Development Area in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.The following instruments were applied: Scale of Beliefs on Parenting Practices in early childhood, the Family Climate Inventory - ICF and the sociodemographic data sheet. An interview directed with the teachers was carried out to investigate the proposed objectives. From the analyzes made, it can be seen that most fathers and mothers show concerns and care for their children in their responses, since for most statements they answered level 5 (always). This finding can be related to the analysis of the teachers interviews, which demonstrate, in general, that the children do not show aggressive or transgressive behaviors. Iramuteq software was used for data analysis. The general corpus of the interviews consisted of 50 texts, which represent the 50 interviews conducted in the research. 8,745 occurrences (prepositions, words, forms or vocabularies) emerged, with 1094 distinct words and 171,047 words with a single occurrence. In addition, the socio-demographic data includes participants with backgrounds ranging from Incomplete Elementary School (24 per cent) to Higher Education (4 per cent). Therefore, as Bronfenbrenner (1992) tells us, one can verify thepossible influences on the child s relationship with the environment where he is inserted. It is believed that, if the child is inserted in a healthy environment for his development, he will hardly present transgressive or aggressive behaviors in thesespaces. From the analysis of the responses of parents and teachers, it can be said that the aspects related to parenting beliefs and practices are in accordance with the behavior profile pointed out by the teachers in their interviews. It is believed that the present study can bring benefits both to the area of education and to the area of developmental psychology and educational psychology.
