Rosa Isela Cerda Uc. María Rosado y Rosado. Ana Karina Palau Aguilar. Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán. Abstract Studies and research in child development are still necessary for social evolution. As relevant and accurate interventions are made in childhood, health and social problems are prevented in the future. What is happening at this stage of life significantly influences the continuum of the life cycle. This research shows the advances and limitations of a population of 87 preschoolers, with 49 girls and 38 children from the State of Yucatan. The obtained data shows the similarities and differences existing in the three areas of development between the participants: physical-motor, cognitive and socioemotional. Through spontaneous drawings and a script of questions related to the pictorial context, boys and girls showed physical-motor, mental and social skills that favored to broaden the landscape of the children's world. Similarities between the theory and reality are notorious, and the universality of the tasks of child development can also be seen. This can be very useful for the creation of programs aimed at encouraging and benefiting children, regardless of their geographical origin. If children receive a comprehensive education, society will have individuals who contribute to the benefit of the community. Education based on the stimulation and promotion of the skills and abilities of the three areas of development. Healthy and satisfied children, stable and healthy societies. Keywords: childhood, developmental fields, health, development processes.
