This article addresses the role of the family in early childhood education and its importance for
the selection of the behavioral repertoire: an interpretation from the perspective of Radical
Behaviorism. Its objective is to analyze the contributions of research that demonstrate the
relevance of the family environment in early childhood education for the selection and
strengthening of adaptive behavioral repertoires. For this purpose, an integrative literature
review methodology was used, organized and analyzed through the Thematic Content Analysis
technique. The results indicated that a quality family environment, characterized by active
parental interaction, planned control of contingencies, reinforcement of desirable behaviors,
dialogue and positive reinforcement, favors the development of an adaptive and functional
behavioral repertoire. This study also presented practical strategies for families to promote
positive behavioral development and improve children's learning. It is concluded that a
structured, affectionate and cooperative family environment is essential for the development of
a healthy children's behavioral repertoire, reinforcing the importance of family collaboration in
the formative process of children.
