Abstract
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent emotional problems in Preschool Education,
affecting 10-20% of the population in these ages, being persistent over time and predictors
of later problems. That is why the present work aims to analyze the presence of anxiety
in a group of students, both from the perspective of families and teachers. To carry out
the study, the Preschool Anxiety Scale (PAS) was used in a classroom with 19 students
of ages between 3 and 4, in its version for families and teachers. The results obtained indicate
a low level of agreement between the data observed from both perspectives, there
being agreement regarding the subscales of Social Anxiety and Fear for Physical Integrity.
Furthermore, only above-average scores have been detected in family observations. The
importance of early detection and family-school communication are concluded.
