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.

We have to remember that when we try to keep children away from TV, Video Games, or computer games etc, we are in direct competition with those big people who have created & marketed those games. They are very intelligent, and know how to make money, so they are far more superior than us in attracting children towards those games than us, when we try to discourage children! The only advantage we have,( it is indeed a very big , significant advantage), is that the children are very much within our reach, and we love our children unconditionally. So, we have to maintain awareness of this advantage, and patiently explain the disadvantages of spending too much time on these games, using the stories of real life heroes, who perform well in… [cont.] Answered by Spiritualseeker - Fri Nov 30 05:25:10 2007 What happens to children when a single parent is incarcerated?

Q. I know children had to work in the factories, but did they have to work on farms? I don't think so, right? Asked by LeVeL 6-eR =D - Thu Apr 19 20:36:34 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. As long as there was farming, children were working on them. The industrial revolution caused greater numbers of children to work in factories, but they also worked in shops and on the farms. People would have large families just to supply the labor force for their farms. Answered by jknca04 - Thu Apr 19 20:45:10 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Children" Quotes regarding children.
