Abstract
The opinions of a group of Argentinean children point to a silencing of teachers and parents, which reproduces a fearful, shameful and morally disqualifying idea of human sexuality. This silencing speaks to us of a lack of educational accompaniment for children, in the midst of a whole complex, diverse and contradictory discursive framework that currently circulates regarding the subject of sexuality from various spaces of socialization. The above is the result of a study carried out in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the participation of a group of 12 children between 5 and 6 years of age and belonging to a kindergarten and a primary school of a state character in this city. The objective was centered on the understanding of the theories that these participants have elaborated on the subject of human sexuality, from the qualitative methodology, with playful techniques framed within the Piagetian Clinical Method (Delval, 2001) and that constitutes an ideal strategy for the investigative approach of themes with early age participants. Similarly, the use of Strauss & Corbin's Grounded Theory (2002) is used as a methodological process for data analysis.
