It is important to reach such universe for it s the first step to the effort of elaborating public policies towards this segment, as well as thinking of strategies to include them into society in a warm manner. Thus, a brief study on the history of childhood from its conception since Feudal Ages until Contemporary times was carried out, outlining whatsoever the aspects of childhood in Brazil and in the city of Goiânia. The methodology was based upon the social-historic approach as proposed by Vigotski, developing a documental research followed by an empirical research. The first utilized the scholar applications of 203 children from a nongovernmental institution (Sociadade Cidadão 2000). The empirical part consisted of the evaluation of 81 questionnaires and the interview of 12 children (of both genders), picked from the ones who answered the questionnaires. The questionnaires were intended to allow a better comprehension of the routine and lifestyle of the surveyed children, while the interviews provided in depth information based on the questionnaire answers, allowing for a new direction on the constitution of these children subjectivity - as it was noticed that childhood playing and household duties are central in their socializing process. The surveyed children presented diverse family patterns, where grandparents are present and important figures in their lives, whereas the mothers are the most referred to concerning child education. These children associate positive feelings concerning their family, cooperate on household duties and have child playing as part of their routine. Most of these children report suffering some kind of violence, but define being a child as being able to play and have fun. By child playing they socialize with their pairs, learn rules and deal with limits previously established by the society they belong to in a playful, and yet serious, manner. The household duties are also part of their socializing process, however gender issues play an early role in this matter. / Esta pesquisa trata do processo de socialização de crianças pertencentes às camadas populares, tendo em vista que alcançar esse universo faz-se importante, porque é o primeiro passo para que haja esforços no sentido de elaborar políticas públicas direcionadas a esse segmento, assim como planejar estratégias para sua inclusão na sociedade de uma maneira acolhedora. Para tanto, fez-se um breve estudo sobre a infância, desde a Idade Média até a contemporaneidade, focando-se aspectos ligados à infância no Brasil, e posteriormente, no município de Goiânia. A metodologia fundamentou-se na abordagem sócio-histórica proposta por Vigotski, mediante uma pesquisa documental, seguida de pesquisa empírica. Com a pesquisa documental realizou-se um estudo histórico do município de Goiânia, bem como coletaram-se informações das fichas de cadastro de 203 crianças matriculadas em uma instituição não-governamental (Sociedade Cidadão 2000). A pesquisa empírica baseou-se na aplicação de 81 questionários e na entrevista com 12 crianças de ambos os sexos, escolhidas a partir da aplicação dos questionários, com o objetivo de compreender melhor o modo de vida e o cotidiano dessas crianças. Com as entrevistas, aprofundaram-se as informações obtidas a partir dos questionários, para um novo direcionamento para a constituição da subjetividade das crianças, diante da constatação de que, no seu processo de socialização, as brincadeiras e os serviços domésticos são centrais. A partir disso, apresentou-se um desenho familiar bastante diversificado, em que os avós são figuras presentes e importantes na vida das crianças e as mães são as mais citadas com referência à sua educação. Trata-se de crianças que associam sentimentos positivos em relação à família, colaboram nos serviços domésticos da casa e a brincadeira faz parte do seu cotidiano. Boa parte dessas crianças diz ter sofrido algum tipo de violência, e para elas, ser criança é poder brincar e ter diversão. Por meio das brincadeiras, as crianças pesquisadas socializam-se com seus pares, aprendem regras e lidam com limites que são previamente estabelecidos pela sociedade a que pertencem, de forma lúdica e ao mesmo tempo séria. O serviço doméstico também entra nesse processo de socialização, mediante realização das atividades da casa, tendo em vista que desde cedo questões de diferenças de gênero aparecem nessa distribuição.
