Family and school are the contexts of development and education par excellence.
It is recognized the importance of these educational environments in child development (autonomy, socialization with other signifiers, developing cognitive skills, etc..).
The relationships established between the family and the school are crucial to the development of children.
The family is a lively and diverse institution experiencing changes and new demands.
The transition from the home environment to the school system is an important milestone in the life of people has received little attention from in the literature.

Pierre Bourdieu, La Distinction (1979)
Theoretical framework
Cultural Capital
Field
Cultural capital refers to the knowledge, skills and dispositions of all types that allow individuals to make decisions and act in the social world. Equating cultural capital lifestyle, tastes and preferences that individuals have, and which are reflected especially in their consumption patterns and choices.
Field refers to the institutional aspects of individual and collective actions. Fields
focus on the conflict nature of social life, while the idea of institution suggests a
consensus among stakeholders and the absence of conflict.

Research questions
Can cultural capital and the notion of field help us to understand what social
strategies are behind the first transition to the school system
(if any)?
Can we identify whether parental cultural capital, consumption and behavior have an effect on children cultural exposure?
