This paper presents part of the results from a master's degree research addressing the relationship between childhood and development, based on the analysis of social representations of childhood in the 'Pais & Filhos' magazine. The magazine is conceived as a means of making accessible to families the scientific knowledge that has the study of children as its object, given that features speeches from many experts, especially those related to medicine and psychology. This study aims to analyze the representations of child development present in the magazine and its legitimation through the discourse of experts. It considers the presence and legitimacy of different discourses in this publication: by experts, parents and children, and addresses the issue of development, one of the pillars of childhood representation in the 'Pais & Filhos' magazine. Finally, it discusses the results, focusing on the theme of childhood as the target of experts, as from a modern rationality.
