As birras das crian?as s?o uma caracter?stica do desenvolvimento normal das crian?as e surgem por volta dos 15-18 meses que, normalmente, s?o desencadeadas devido ao desejo de independ?ncia e ? incapacidade de escolher por parte das crian?as. Para que as birras n?o se tornem um grave problema de comportamento das crian?as, os pais devem adoptar pr?ticas educativas adequadas para promover comportamentos desej?veis. O presente estudo analisou se os diferentes tipos de pr?ticas educativas parentais se relacionam com a exist?ncia ou n?o de birras. Participaram 106 pais de crian?as com idade compreendida entre os 2 e os 6 anos que responderam a tr?s question?rios: (a) Question?rio Sociodemogr?fico; (b) Question?rio da Caracteriza??o dos Filhos; (c) Invent?rio de Pr?ticas Educativas (I.P.E). Concluiu-se que as pr?ticas educativas parentais mais utilizadas s?o as pr?ticas educativas adequadas por?m, aquando as birras das crian?as, os pais recorrem ? puni??o f?sica e ?s pr?ticas educativas inadequadas. Verificou-se, tamb?m, que o g?nero e o estado civil dos pais n?o influenciam as pr?ticas educativas utilizadas nos filhos. Quanto ? influ?ncia da idade dos filhos nas pr?ticas educativas parentais, conclu?mos que quanto mais velhos os filhos, menos os pais recorrem ? puni??o f?sica. / The tantrums are a feature of normal development of children, which appear at around 15-18 months.
