A child (plural: children) is a human 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."

Legal definitions

Population aged under 15 years in 2005

The 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.

How to adopt the children of my boyfriends?
Q. He has children from a previous marriage and the mother of these children has not been in the picture for many years and not paying child support ever. The children are 10 & 11. This is in Canada and we want to do the adoption ourselves without a lawyer. How do we do it? We do plan on getting married soon.
Asked by Susie - Tue Jun 23 13:30:43 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm not sure about Cananda, but here in the States, you will have to be married. Some places have a minimum time that you must be married, others do not. Contact a family law attornet in your area and see what the laws in your area are. Most likley it will be an easy process since she has not seen the children or paid child support in over a year.

How many children can I watch in my home?
Q. I live in Anderson,SC and would like to know how many children can I watch in my home without having to be registered? I have 2 children of my own, and am watching my two nieces as well. Thanks!
Asked by christina.yost - Mon Jan 26 21:30:42 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think the limit may be 5 or 4 where i live. So i would go around that assumption, my cousin had to register before she could take either the fourth or 5th child. But I am sure if its family and such you wont make that big of difference as long as your not trying ot start a daycare center and publicizing it. Sorry i was of much help, but hopefully i gave you somewhat of an idea!

  • Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
  • You can't raise a child in a vacuum. All that carpet dust will clog up the kid's lungs.
