Considering ethnography as a methodological common denominator to Childhood Studies and Anthropology and subscribing its importance in getting to know children from their own perspective, this article aims to address the potentialities of this approach presenting contributions from both disciplinary fields; reflect on the effects placed by certain limits such as those related to age and space-time, and identify some of the challenges faced today when conducting ethnographic research with children.

Keywords : Childhood Studies; Anthropology; Ethnography; Epistemology.
