The objective of this study is to analyze the relation established by children with the children’s television programs classified by Brazilian Justice Ministry as ER - specially recommended for children and teenagers, trying to understand how the children and teenagers evaluate, interpret and deal with the values that are intentionally broadcasted in these programs. The research was based on ten workshops where children could watch ER children`s television series, participate on activities, and make notes. The workshops happened at Instituto Tear, a non-profit organization dedicated to art, education and culture, in Rio de Janeiro. The participants of the research were six and seven years old public school students, who used to go to Instituto Tear after or before school. The programs exposed were: Sítio do Pica pau amarelo, Cocoricó, Juro que vi, Um menino muito maluquinho, Teca na TV, Charlie e Lola and Jakers. The workshops were videotaped and the content of the recordings was analyzed using ATLAS TI software. The results indicate that children evaluate the exhibited programming as good programs. They also recognize the values broadcasted and deal with those values according to their schemes of assimilation, with regard to Piaget`s theories about the cognitive stages and moral development.
