The aim of this paper is to describe the variety of the social constructions of childhood in the Czech unprofessional discourses in contemporary time. The author illustrates his analysis by the extracts from the autobiographical interviews with the Czech respondents representing two generations, which were collected during the field research in 2000-2001. The author attempts to trace the changes in the images of childhood in the context of the collapse of the Communism and further social transformations of the Czech society and considers if and how the differences between the "socialist" and "post-socialist" childhood are reflected in the contemporary childhood-images re-constructing discourse.
