Taboo or common directive acts?

Abstract

I am availing myself of with natural conversations with the participation of pre-school and school children, and with test questions concerning bans imposed on children. In the conclusion I state that bans directed at children and orders of adults constitute the taboo on extending the significance. The children’s taboo is not encountering consequences in the form of the divine punishment or the penalty of supernatural powers. Bans directed at children are aimed at protecting their life and health and preserving the safety. The penalty for opposing to bans is being sanctioned legally, as well as socially and according to custom.
