Ethnographic research with children requires the precision of the thick description of the observed facts, such as those involving other social groups. Research with children, however, are recent, mainly by the presence of the preposition with, which means recognizing them as social actors and include them as active participants in the research process, possibilities opened up by the sociology of childhood. By adopting this approach seeks to develop a differentiated position in the search field, the atypical adult (CORSARO, 1990, 2002, 2005 FERREIRA, 2008), to a deepening in the cultures of children at the same time they are investigating by the meanings closer to his worldview. The concepts developed by theoretical and methodological studies of the sociology of childhood, its relations with the studies of anthropology and the ethnographic research in progress, with caiçaras children, form the basis of this text, whose aim is to discuss the entry in the field and the position of adult in research with children.
