With the research UBACyT (2010-2012) "Game, attachment and vulnerable populations. The game as a facilitator of child development and its relation with patterns of affection in vulnerable populations" began to build upa a scale to assess attitudes of parentes towards children´s play and other topics such as setting limits and quality links with their children. The project is consistent with the University Extension Program "Neighborhood playground" in which workshops are deployed to parents whom updates, among other topics, the place and value of playing in childhood. In order to diagnose the parental perception of children's game and a limits setting, at the beginning of each workshop were given a Likert's scale. This paper presents the mentioned methodology of quantitative character, as well as synthesizes some of the results from the use of this instrument in a group of 104 parents from the City of Buenos Aires and another group of 367 parents from the City of Salta, over which the scale was applied in order to continue with the process of construction and adjustment of the items.
