BROSTOLIN, Marta Regina. The child and the right to participate: challenges for Early Childhood Education. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.70, e-33789. Epub 06-Mar-2024. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2023v61n70id33789.
The text, a theoretical essay, is based on the Sociology of Childhood and bibliographical research. It aims to discuss children's right to participate and their place in contemporary society based on respect for their voice and action as individuals of rights. The results show an advance in child and childhood studies in recent years, configuring a multidisciplinary field around the understanding the childhood experienced by children themselves. The underway social transformations affect the relationships between children and adults in their political, cultural, and educational dimensions, making it necessary to deconstruct the adult-centric normative production that subordinates children and hinders and/or makes their participation in society impossible. The child moves from being an object to become an actor. From the change of child's place, it is necessary to make the school a democratic space for socialization and a more child-friendly context where takes place a respectful dialogue between children and adults, with more symmetrical relationships.
