Data was problematized using Paulo Freire's sociocultural approach and its concepts of dialogism and autonomy.RESULTS: The statements showed the many ways in which the care for child intoxication is perceived and their relations with educational action, but these were traditional educational practices, with elements focused on the dissemination of information about health-disease, probably because the dialogic approach is still abstract and has no interface with the concrete practices.FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The education knowledge and practices of the professionals for the autonomy and empowering of families suggested that there is a transition stage between the biomedical model, focused on a cure, and the dialogical one.PMID:34320153 | DOI:10.1590/0034-7167-2020-1196
