Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a discussion on childcare in Brazil, highlighting moralizing practices in education through medical and hygienist precepts. Our study was based on the following theoretical references: Marcílio (1997, 2006a, 2006b), Rizzini; Marques (2012), Azzi (2008), Sousa (2010), Del Priori (1991), Bazílio (2002), among others. Results show that childhood in Brazil was for a long time neglected, literally abandoned or placed at the mercy of welfarist, moralizing and hygienist actions. We conclude that the nationalizing actions, typical of the Republic, aimed at creating in children an orderly life through social norms and adult world needs.
