Social norms are of great importance in the process of transferring Turkish culture, especially in the process of establishing the newly established Republic of Turkey, in the transfer of national culture, oral tradition products, customs, traditions and traditions to the adults of tomorrow. It has been observed that the radical changes made in many areas with the declaration of the Republic increased the investment in the future and children. Children, who are seen as hope for the future, have become the main element of an important cultural project through children and youth magazines published for them. With these magazines published, children have been better equipped for the future by learning the values ​​of the Republic as well as the values ​​and traditions of Turkish folk literature. As can be seen, the content of periodical children's publications has gained even more importance in the process that started with the declaration of the Republic. The fact that the magazines published in this period were generally prepared by educators shows the belief in the importance of theoretical education and the necessity of children's perception of traditional values ​​in the Single Party period. In this sense, periodicals, which are a means of transferring the Turkish folk culture tradition, social/cultural developments experienced in Turkey and the world to children, are important for studies to be conducted in different disciplines of social sciences. Children's magazines/journals and newspapers are valuable literary materials for research in the field of Turkish folk literature, as they contain the social aspect of literature. Taking Afacan Çocuk Newspaper as an example, the contributions of social norms, namely the national values ​​conveyed in magazines and the mandatory laws implemented during the construction process of the new Turkey, to the cultural change/transformation of children were evaluated.
