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. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, since we asked my MIL for advice about helping our 2 year old sleep. She said something to the effect of "Make sure your house is clean, make sure (your child) is clean..." So, what do you think? Do children (small children specifically) behave better, act happier, and sleep better when their homes are neat and clean? What degree of cleanliness or messiness would make the difference? Asked by rainwriterm - Wed Jul 1 21:27:10 2009 - - 24 Answers - 0 Comments A. i agree that parenting has everything to do with better behaved children. Your MIL may be referring to Qi and Feng-Shui (without realizing) That when things are in order, the energy or Qi should flow unobstructed and there is little or no displaced (misplaced) or blocked energy flow. I once had a sleepless night and I'm sure it was the energy from a big pile of unfolded clothes left in the middle of the room that night. A good parent is in control of her children even when she is not present. Answered by hbvmmix - Wed Jul 1 21:38:26 2009 Should children be allowed to grow in tribal communities with huts and no education, in civilized countries? Q. In tribes, where parents and children share and sleep on the floor, inside a single small hut. There's no modern appliances, nor water pipes or electricity, no real medicine, nor real education. Or should the parents be forced to move to a decent modern place or forced to at least send their children to school or have their kids taken away? A single hut, also means in some tribes or cultures, that love is made between both parents at night in that hut regardless of company. Asked by Darian - Fri Feb 22 12:05:13 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. And who are YOU to decide to wipe out the way of life, and culture, of a people you can't even understand? Forcing parents in such tribes ( and there are so very few of them left in the world nowadays) to move away from the only home and life they have ever known, just so you could be satisfied that their kids are going to grow up in what you THINK is a "normal" environment, is tantamount to cultural genocide, Darian. Most of these parents could not survive in the modern world without special help and support- the world they were born into and grew up in is the only one they know. Doing what you suggest would mean that these people inevitably become burdens on the government and taxpayers of whatever country they live in. Plus, has it ever… [cont.] Answered by Starlight 1 - Fri Feb 22 12:21:26 2008 How do I plan my two nondependent children under head of household?
Q. My wife passed away in 2006. Both my children are living with me. They have been working for half the year in 2008. I supply more than half the expenses in 2008. They are both under 24. Under head of household in turbo tax, I can fill in one child as my nondependent child, but there is no option for the second child. Any ideas? Asked by savalot - Sat Mar 14 11:48:36 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1. If they are not your dependents, it does not matter whether you have one or two. If neither one is your dependent, then the only thing that matters is whether you have zero or you have more than zero. There is no reason to enter more than one because it does not matter how many you have; it only matters that you have at least one. 2. Based on the information that you provided, I am not sure whether you are correct that they are not your dependents. Check this carefully.
