Through the contact and analysis of reports substantiated the theory, it was possible to think about dynamics of relationships between adults and children, the impact of media and technology on its constitution, the importance and fullness of playing, the reverberations in adults to reflect and (re) live some feelings of their own childhood, as well as the multiple ways in which childhood is presented to us. The challenges of thinking and speaking of childhood is linked directly to the complexity and diversity of manners of experiencing childhood.
