The concern with the care and protection of children in Western society was a process that took place over a historical period. According to Norbert Elias' theory of “civilization processes”, in the medieval period, this society began to exercise greater control over the individual, making him demands in relation to behaviors, in turn modified in a reciprocal relationship of change. This article aims to analyze the way in which society became concerned with childhood, recognizing children as deserving of attention and care, based on Norbert Elias' conception of “processes of civilization”, as well as from his “figuration”, “interdependence”, “psychogenesis”, “sociogenesis”, “power” and “habitus” concepts. This study made it possible to understand that greater control of emotions also brought restraint from men in relation to individuals who could be considered weaker, a category in which, in certain aspects, children are often included.
