From the text we will realize that the childhood that lived the middle and high sectors of society was different from the popular sectors, for them the limits between work and fun did not exist quite the opposite, in their coming and going by Mexico City combined their work and recreation activities. They, like adults, had to face the criminalization and marginalization of their activities. On the other hand, from the analysis of the documents, what we find is an absence of street female childhood, unlike men, they are found in private spaces. In the end, the text searches to bring the reader closer to those different childhoods that were lived in Mexico City.
