This article aims to share critical debate on undertaking interviews with children in the home setting and draws on the authors' extensive research fieldwork. The article focuses on three key processes: planning entry to the child's home, conducting the interviews and exiting the field. In planning entry, we include children's engagement and issues of researcher gender. In conducting the interviews, we consider issues such as the balance of power, the importance of building a rapport, the voluntary nature of consent and the need for a flexible interview structure. Finally, we address exiting from the child's home with sensitivity at the end of the interview and/or research study. Undertaking research in the child's home provides a known and familiar territory for the child, but it means that the researcher faces a number of challenges that require solutions whilst they are a guest in a child's home.
本文旨在分享关于在家庭环境中对儿童进行访谈的重要辩论，并借鉴作者广泛的研究实地调查。本文聚焦于三个关键过程：规划进入儿童家庭、进行访谈以及退出实地。在规划进入时，我们纳入了儿童的参与度和研究者性别的问题。在进行访谈时，我们考虑权力平衡、建立融洽关系的重要性、同意的自愿性质以及灵活访谈结构的必要性等问题。最后，我们在访谈和/或研究结束时，以敏感的方式处理从儿童家庭退出的问题。在儿童家中进行研究为儿童提供了一个熟悉的领域，但这意味着研究者在作为儿童家庭的访客时面临一些需要解决的挑战。
