A child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of "child" generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. "Child" may also describe a relationship with a parent or authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties." DefinitionsThe United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "every human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier." Biologically, a child is anyone in the developmental stage of childhood, between infancy and adulthood. From Wikipedia under the

My girlfriend has 2 children (7,9) from a previous relationship and suggests they have so much to offer. However i've never really been very interested in talking to children before and wonder what she means when she says they have lots to offer and are a privelige to know. They are nice children but and i would be happy to have fun with them but i don't understand what they could "offer" an adult. Any ideas? Asked by Tufty - Wed May 27 07:47:45 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The bottom line is that in this situation, (I know as I'm in exactlythe same one,) you will have to put up with a LOT, but it's actually worth it in the end. They will moan, cry, scream and say that they hate you, but once you've earned their trust they become more and more like your own kids, and that turns out to be the most rewarding feeling in the world. Stick with it mate, it'll be worth it in the end. Answered by unknown - Wed May 27 12:25:13 2009 How do you cope with your partners children from a previous relationship? Q.

Answered by Rylan - Thu Jun 11 09:39:50 2009 What are some good ways to talk to children about the dangers of firearms?
Q. For law enforcement day I was given the opportunity to pass out firearms locks then talk to children on the dangers of firearms. I thought I be patrolling the mall to be honest. But, being a rookie I was assigned to help Harrold pass out gun locks to the parents to keep our children in the community safe from the dangers of an unlocked gun. We also had certificates to pass out to the kids after talking to them about the dangers of a firearm. After they promised to not touch the firearm they would sign this. I wasn't expecting so many parents wanting me to discuss the dangers of firearms to their children. They also thanks me afterwards so I see the importance. Basically it seems that the children see the badge and like to hear it from an… [cont.] Asked by groundbrandon - Thu May 17 10:00:47 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. BY saying owning a firearm is a big responsibility and many people take care the way they should.. those who do not will help us lose our rights to bare Arms.. I lost a cousin to a firearm accident.. his brother shot him in the head on an accident.. it will forever change every ones life. We can not bring back the people we lose but we can prevent it from happening.. We should teach the importance of not only locking guns.. but never to point or play with a gun. I think it is every ones responsibility to do this.. Answered by je - Thu May 17 10:07:06 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Children" Quotes regarding children.
