Abstract

In recent years, both the media and communities of professionals from different fields (health, education, social, justice) have been warning of increased conflict and disruptive situations that arise in educational frameworks and in the family. The lack of respect to the adult, the lack of boundaries and the lack of agreements between families and teachers, appear as issues of concern to educators - families and teachers - and subject them to strong tensions that sometimes may lead to personal and professional crises. This study aims to determine the nature of these problems and their consequences for those involved and the possible solutions. At the same time, it points to an epistemological reflection on the problem of attention versus executive functions.
