Resumen:
The objective of the study was comparing parenting activities performed by mothers from three regions in the north, center, and south of Mexico. The sample consisted of 296 participants with a child aged 6–17 years, to whom the Questionnaire Rearing Report for Parents was administered. One-way ANOVA and Scheff e’s post hoc tests were used for data analysis. The results show that a common pattern of parenting exists among mothers from the three regions, giving priority to the same child-rearing activities. The mothers from the southern region accounted for the main between-group differences. It is concluded that this within-country study contributes to avoiding stereotyped images and helps to provide a more differentiated view of parenting by Mexican mothers from distinct regional and cultural groups.
