Abstract: Some of Mário Prata's chronicles point to a perception about childhood and aging. We have separated three chronicles to cover the topic, they are: Você é um envelhescente?”, “Criança diz cada uma...” e “Gestantes, idosos e deficientes”. In them we can observe that Mário Prata talks about situations between children, adults, women and the elderly and also reflects on “small corruptions” that happen daily, for example, cutting the line at a supermarket, speaking at an inopportune moment. The aforementioned chronicles were worked on in the Bom Jesus community in Campo Grande (RN), being read and discussed with children and elderly people interviewed. It is possible to observe that aging is a transition, a preparation for old age and that this period experienced in our lives, according to Mário Prata, is not known by many, it is something that fits perfectly into the path of human development. To better understand the comparison between childhood and aging, activities were carried out with children aged 5 to 6, with 3 elderly people. The results show that, despite all the evolution that our society has been experiencing, both negative and positive, today's children still see the elderly with a hopeful and admirable vision. It is possible to see in some reports the difference in their experiences, as children in the past lived with more intensity and those today are more connected to technology. And this early adultization can come from exposure to technology, as pointed out in the text “A Consciência do Eu e a Psicologia de Steiner e Wallon”, by Jonas Bach Junior and Elizabete Villibor Flory. In the course of life, the examples that come from adults will be models for children and because they mirror their personalities in that of adults. We will also have as a theoretical reference the text “A velhice: algumas considerações teóricas e conceituais”, by Renata Lopes de Siqueira et al and Anita Liberalessa Néri with “O que a Psicologia tem a oferecer ao estudo e à intervenção no campo do envelhecimento no Brasil” and “Contribuições da psicologia ao estudo e à intervenção no campo da Velhice”.
