Abstract: The family represents the core of the development of basic and meaningful interactions, and is considered the first agent of socialization, which legitimates the conception of the first and most important social group. Thus, the family assumes the basic unit of society, where the acquisition of language, the first bodily contacts, and the first interaction between its members and the environment are acquired and promoted. It is from this core that each element, and especially the child, elaborates the sharing of meanings of their experiences, which enables the child to develop as an adult and autonomous human being (Alarcão, 2006; Fazenda, 2005; 2008; Figueiredo & Charepe, 2010).
