Sociologia da infância: reflexões sobre a primeira infância a partir da Lei 13.257/2016

Abstract

This article aims to analyze article 4 of law 13.257 / 2016, seeking to understand its social conception and its relationship with early childhood. The research question seeks to identify which conception of child the law addresses from an unequal conjuncture of society. This is a qualitative research that focused on Article 4 of Law 13.257 / 2016, based on the theoretical debate based on the sociology of childhood, the social history of the child and public policies for early childhood, in the dialogue between theoretical reflections and the data published by Inep, IBGE and Fundação ABRINC. The importance of this law, considered a legal framework for early childhood, is unquestionable, however, some issues related to reducing social inequalities, respecting diversity in their social and cultural contexts, comprehensive and integrated care and the promotion of a culture of protection and promotion of the child, are many of the paths to be followed for the implementation of actions that meet the interests of the child and their condition of rights and citizenship.
