It was studied the way as the precocious insert in the work it is assimilated by the children, especially for the girl, and the domestic work belongs one to them. The steps for the consolidation of this work gave him, initially, for the visits to the families of the interior of the municipal district; therefore after, it was interviewed its components, as well as the children. In another moment, a personality test was applied (CAT-A), in the girls, being analyzed its affective entails and the way as the feminine identity is being structured, since she is inserted in the world of the early work. The studied age group understood the ages of 10 to 12 years. The girls belonged to families of small rural producers, in that the main agricultural activity is the cultivation of the fume. The reached results point out the importance of a larger entail between the child and its family. Girls interviewees comment of accomplishing its professional dreams of the impossibility, tends to submit to the field. This impossibility of consolidating its projects for the future, they entangle the girl in the domestic world, from small. The identity that she forms is bounded to the tasks of organization of the house, as to clean, to sweep, to cook. They are not it given other possibilities, because they learn that the duty and the woman's place is to be at home, because the men work in the field and the women aid. This form of help is reflected in the formation of its identity that, for its time, it is on top wearing shoes of presupposed of domestic duties. The time for the study and the game becomes, with this, scarce. Time is not had to be child and the feminine identity, early, it is tied by preconceived values and incerted by a system consolidated by the family work. It is ended, then, that the infantile work interferes in the girl's capacity in being child and this does with that she develops an identity based on the work relationships, since its family relationships give margin to these relationships in a quite precocious age. It is known that the first relationships and entails maintained by the children constitute the base of an identity construction and very important sense of me for a healthy development. In case these relationships are relegated to a second plan, the child can present consequences, in the adult life, harmful for its personality. Then, these girls, besides they have not time to live its childhood, they also carry I get the weight of they build its feminine identity entangled in a private world, that is to say, in the domestic world just, without many chances of to know and to give vent to to its innate potentialities.
