The article presents a synthetic perspective of the child's conception, punctuating subjects related to the new-modernity and to the problem of the sexual violence inside the family, what is part of the bibliographical revision for the elaboration of the Master's degree work in Psychology by the UFPA. The reflections are articulated through the point of view of Psychology and of occupational therapy, because the first is the base of our master's degree paper and the second is our field of work. The new-modern thought values the singular and the idiosyncratic; so learning about the speech of the child shows us the importance of understanding what children think and feel about their infantile condition. The Psychology we based on offers for the analyses the concept of psychological nutrition, related to the offers the caretakers make of positive nutrition, which allows the child to grow in a creative and healthy way; besides this, occupational therapy presents the concept of expressive activities.

Keywords : Child; New-modernity; Violence sexual inside the family.
