Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with group of schoolchildren and their respective parents, where data were collected through voice recording and analyzed using the RASATI Scale.

Regarding the questionnaire, 44% of parents reported vocal alteration when their child became nervous, 52% when they cried a lot and 56% when they returned from school, parties or games. Of the good vocal habits, 92% reported drinking water, 88% sleeping well and 84% resting. And of bad vocal habits, 76% of parents considered talking loudly in noisy places, 60% breathing through the mouth, 52% coughing and 44% screaming.

Thus, we note the importance of parents' guidance on the vocal care of children.
