Social construction of modern childhood emphasizes its dependence, fragility, and passive reception of adult care, making the contribution of children to care work in different everyday scenarios in which they participate, become invisible. This article presents the main findings of an empirical research, based on a critical discursive perspective whose objective was to know the discourses that children from different socioeconomic strata constructed on the parent-child relationships, focusing on the theme of daily care work, understood as a constitutive dimension of this relationship. Their discourses reflect their agency and moral competence, showing that family care relationships are held in a complex and subtle network of interdependencies.

Palabras clave : childhood; parent-child relationships; care practices; critical discourse analysis; critical psychology; chilhood studies.
