Training for Women Mothers
Training mothers encourages their own development based on two objectives i) stimulate their own development can participate in their child's development as co-educators and trainers for the future, their children have appropriate development that enable them to enter the workforce and ii) from the previous point, there is a change in the self-esteem of these women co-educators and instructors, both in front of their children and in front of themselves. This new self-image on the basis of recognition of their skills and competencies, allows them to choose to participate in the workforce recognizing the benefits that such activity makes it easier in terms of autonomy, social and economic improvement.

Qualitative Evaluation.
In addition to what has already been described, it is interesting to record the most frequent manifestations of the participants:
-- "Very good progress"
-- "The techniques and games are very good for use at home"
-- "I thought it was very good… learned a lot and I was able to convey to my son"
-- "It was very good...achieves help my daughter because I had not previously controlled"
-- "After coming here for the first time and practiced what I have been taught much better result.
-- "Not my daughter nor I suffered as a mom."
-- "I have given my son story that is very skilful."
And, in allusion to the time that lasted the course which was considered briefly, which is expressed in phrases like
-- "I would have liked more time allocated"
-- "That would have been more meetings."
Finally, with respect to be viewed in future as members of the workforce, most state that there is no suitable jobs available, interesting and consistent with expectations in the province Valley Choapa. Besides collecting clear features of traditional thinking about the role of the woman to whom he viewed as i) mother and ii) housekeeper. However, expressing openness compared to the work part. Time. In conclusion, while women require more preparation than a cognitive behavioral and psychosocial to integrate the workforce, course instructor estimate that workers could be responsible, punctual, meticulous in detail, able to follow instructors, teamwork and assess new opportunities (although seeing more as a benefit for child especially in the economic sphere).
