N2  - The aim of this ethnographic trial was to identify cultural patterns present in mothers' actions when protecting their children from environmental risks like drugs and violence. Data collection consisted in a tape-recorded structured interview with 10 mothers of 9 to 13-year-old preadolescents, complemented with pictures, field notes and participant observation. Mothers conceptualize their child as a "Big Boy" who wants to make his own decisions and be independent, generating conflicts in the family as a whole. As a conclusion, mothers perceive their pre teenagers as more vulnerable, so a close guiding and control is necessary for their developing activities. They believe it will help their children to recognize hazardous situations and stay away from them.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>
