The present study investigates the process of negotiation and decision-making by children among their peers. An eleven-year-old fifth grade boy was observed during the day and his utterances and behavior in social interactions were recorded. A situation where seven boys negotiated and decided what to do after school was examined from an interpretive perspective, integrating ethnographic observation and microgenetic analysis of their behavior and utterances. Through a detailed analysis of the interactions and comparison with other settings, evidence was provided suggesting that the boys were sensitive to the agreement of the group and the intention of others during the whole process of decision-making. In the negotiation they regulated their behavior and use of language according to each situation. Children seem to acquire such sensitivity and behavior in accordance with the rules and expectations of the society in sociocultural settings. An interpretive study of the process of the child's interaction provides an access to understanding the child's socialization and acquisition of a self-regulating system.
