DUEK, Carolina. Childhood, development and knowledge: boys and girls and their socialization. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.2, pp.799-808. ISSN 1692-715X.

In this article we approach the different contexts of development in which children from six to eight years old grow nowadays. This is not only an attempt of characterization of children of that age but also an approach to the complex universe of childhood considering different theoretical and methodological views. Our hypothesis is that socialization and the frames in which children grow can not be understood beyond the discourses that circulate in the communicative ecosystem in which they are inmersed. Education, media, the relationship with equals and the discourses that circulate among them are the axis to analyze the development and the subjetive constitution of children of middle classes from big cities and with access to certain cultural.

Keywords : Childhood; Development; Social Path; Communicative Ecosystem; Family.
