This study presents the descriptive data of a family context assessment carried out using a new instrument which includes a wide range of variables identified in recent scientific literature as influencing children's psychological development. Participants were 772 families with children aged between 7 and 11. The results reveal variability between the families as regards the quality levels of key family context variables. They also enable intervention aims to be established, focused specifically on those variables in which quality levels indicate possible room for improvement. These include (among others) encouraging reading, fostering autonomy and self-esteem and reducing parental stress. In accordance with the principles of positive parenting, a series of intervention strategies are proposed, using the strengths that every family owns to address the weakest areas detected in the family.
