The article focuses on the epistemological problems encountered in the 20th century by researchers of childhood as a special cultural and psychological phenomenon. The peculiarity of childhood as an object of knowledge in different disciplinary and national scientific traditions, as well as the variability of childhood as a cultural and historical phenomenon are analyzed. The concepts of &quot;childhood&quot; and &quot;childish&quot; are defined as not identical. Consideration of various cognitive strategies in the experience of childhood research leads to the conclusion about the advantages of an interdisciplinary approach as providing a more complete and versatile understanding of childhood.
