The article presents the adaptation process of the Family Climate Inventory for Children (FCI-C). The scale was applied in a sample of 183 children from 8 to 12 years of age, and differences related to the school type, grade level and sex were investigated. The FCI-C presented adequate psychometric indexes with Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin equal to 0.77 and significant Bartlett's sphericity test (x²=741,70; gl=210, p<0,001). There was a difference (p < 0.05) in the negative climate among the participants divided by schools. The instrument is useful in researching the family climate from children and can be used in interventions and research with children.

Keywords : family relationships; psychometry; inventory; self-evaluation.
