VALENCA, Vera Lúcia Chacon. Philosophical and sociological contributions on childhood. Perspectiva [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.2, pp.689-705. ISSN 2175-795X. https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2014v33n2p689.
The central core of this article is to be found in some philosophical and sociological contributions on the history of childhood and its repercussions on educational relationships. A theoretical revision of the childhood history led to a childhood of exclusion, abandoned, without affection in ancient times, and later on, in modern times, resulted in a childhood constituted by "another child", with recognized legal rights. However, this equal, but different "other" and the contemporary childhood represented by "another child" is different, but has equal rights. So, the challenge for current educators consists of knowing how to relate with paradoxical alternating recognition of the different childhood, but with equal rights, exercising an horizontal hierarchy that enables the construction of identity and the search of the children´s autonomy.
