Abstract

The study aims to reflect on child development over time, where the motivations of the State to ensure minimum rights for children are noticeable, since the medieval era they were motivated by the guarantee of labor in the future. Since ensuring a quality of life from an early stage increases the chances of this child reaching a healthier adult stage, as science has shown. However, over the years, there were several barriers to be broken in order to consolidate children's rights and the legal guarantee of care for them. At the Brazilian level, the legal verification that ensured childhood rights only came to light in 1988, with the promulgation of the Citizen Constitution. Since then, new challenges have arisen, which require a constant improvement of the laws, since there is a conflict of interests between health agencies and the industry, as the former aims at the well-being of children and the latter at profit. In this way, child development must be ensured as a right, and the idea that it will favor the economy should not be perpetuated, the latter tends to happen as a consequence.
