This article focuses on children acting as protagonists and on the ethical and methodological challenges during the development of the research that had the participation of kids from a primary school. As theoretical support, studies concerning the Sociology of Childhood (CORSARO, 2011; SARMENTO, 2003; QVORTRUP, 2011) were chosen, which understand children as social actors, historically situated, and who produce culture when interacting with their peers. It is highlighted that the researcher needs to be constantly searching for ethical and methodological strategies to better understand how kids narrate, give meaning and recreate the experiences with their peers giving visibility to the cultures of childhood produced by their different acts as protagonists.
