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 16 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. Attitudes toward childrenSocial attitudes toward children differ around the world in various cultures. These attitudes have changed over time and in different historical periods. A 1988 study on European attitudes toward the centrality of children found Italy was more child-centric and the Netherlands less child-centric, with other countries (Austria, Great Britain, Ireland, and West Germany) falling in between.

Q. We supervise children from the ages of 5-12 on Sunday mornings. Usually we have 15-25 children with 2-4 adult workers. In a few weeks we are hosting a conference and are planning on that number being at least doubled. I wanted to find out if there is a legal child to adult ratio for churches who care for children, or if that ratio only applies to daycare centers. I want to make sure we have all our bases covered legally and for the safety of the children. Thanks! We are in Pierce County, Washington State.

Montessori schools usually go from preschool through elementary. Once the child transfers to a public middle school, do they have problems with the new environment, especially in light of the no-child-left-behind methodology which assumes all children should develop at the same rate within ridgid scholastic structures? Asked by Zefram - Sun Jan 27 13:43:12 2008 - - 2 Answers - 2 Comments A. Whenever I hear this question I think about a scene in the movie Mean Girls. Kady, the movie s protagonist has been homeschooled in Africa by her anthropologist parents. Her first real school is a public high school. At first she is shocked and confused by the rules of the school. As she says in a voice over, Never before had I lived in a world where adults didn t trust me. I got in trouble for the most random things. Then she is seen getting up to sharpen her pencil or to go to the bathroom and teachers being dismayed with her. This is the kind of transition problem Montessori children have. They have been taught to be responsible and to think for themselves and now they are placed in a situation where they aren t usually… [cont.] Answered by Lysa - Mon Jan 28 10:12:30 2008 What are the rules for claiming children on taxes?
Q. I have 2 children and a court order that expressly states that I am only to claim one of the children and my ex-spouse is to claim the other child. Will I be fined or penalized for claiming both of the children on my taxes because of the binding court order? Asked by Shannon G - Thu Jan 31 11:08:00 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. yes - if/when you get caught. careful with this one, you'll get fined by the IRS and the court could order you to pay your ex the credit you got on your taxes for the 2nd child. why would you even try to play the system anyway? play by the rules and you'll be just fine.
