Abstract

This course conclusion work has as its theme the study of the first contacts of young children in the educational environment. The adaptation of children in the early years is a relevant problem considering that the first children's experiences cause important marks for their entire later educational process. Thus, this work aims to review the literature on the subject in focus, also aiming to research on the historical landmarks that characterize studies on childhood and early childhood education in Brazil, it aims to discuss the interaction between family and school and the impacts on the children's adaptation process in the school environment. To support this work, works by Fernandes and Kuhlmann (2004), John Heywood (2004), Philippe Ariès (1981) were used. The following legal documents ECA (1990) Statute of Children and Adolescents and the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education DCNs (2009) also served as a basis to provide a greater theoretical basis. In view of the readings and reflections, it was possible to conclude that the dialogue between family and school must be stimulated so that the obstacles that emerge due to the child's first contacts with the school can be minimized and it is understood that studies on childhood advanced so that the legal documents researched offer greater support for the understanding of the pedagogical practice aimed at Early Childhood Education to become more favorable and the child to experience their first school experiences with a better probability of adaptation.
