This paper presents the configuration of children everyday life in the suburbs of Maputo. Discussion is based on Sociology of Childhood and Sociology of Everyday Life contributions. Data allow understanding and debating the ways in which children can experience social exclusion. Conclusions point out that these children live in a context of social exclusion due to their material life conditions and to the strongly hierarchical relationship with adults. However, they are also able to experience social inclusion, especially within the peer group.

Keywords : Sociology of Childhood; Children; Everyday life; Social exclusion; Mozambique.
