STANGE, Naomi et al. Interações sociais de crianças de três a quatro anos em instituição de educação infantil. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.2, pp. 37-49. ISSN 1984-9044.

This article aimed to analyze the social interactions between children aged three to four years, in a public early childhood education institution, located in a capital in the southern region of Brazil. We employed Piaget's perspective as theoretical framework to this study. Observations were made with six children, four girls and two boys. We identify in children's interaction with the teachers alternation between coercion for the adjustment of undesirable behaviors and display of affection and welcoming. We noticed gender difference in the choice of recreational activities and groups formation. This study is a important tool to highlight aspects that can promote healthy child development.

Palabras clave : child development; social interaction; preschool education.
