This paper discusses how children and adolescents lived the COVID-19 pandemic as a generational experience, seeking to understand their interpretations of the social interactions reconfigured by the social distancing measures adopted to combat the disease. Data were obtained from two studies conducted with children and adolescents aged 8 to 14 years, residing in 33 cities from the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte and in 27 administrative regions of the Federal District. Both studies adopted a mixed methodology, collecting census data using questionnaires, broadened by open questions. Analysis point to a concern with inter and intragenerational solidarity, and show that children and adolescents reject dichotomies, especially those that separate adults and children, and express their criticism about the context and the political and individual actions resulting from it.
