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."

Definitions

The 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 children

Social 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.

A. The IRS will allocate your part of the refund at your request. Any part of your spouse's refund will be used to pay child support he owes. To request that the refunds be allocated, attach Form 8379 to your tax return. In order to receive EIC you must file a joint return. EIC is based on two children, so you could argue that his children's EIC is going to pay his other children's child support. In any case he owes it, so he may as well use the refund to pay.

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!

What are the chances that my children will have autism?
Q. My fiance and I are planning on having children eventually. In his family, three of the five children have autism. My side is clear. What are the chances of us having a child with autism?
Asked by plainblueyes - Thu Jun 28 19:46:56 2007 - - 5 Answers - 3 Comments

A. Autism has a genetic component. If autism runs in your family, you have an increased risk of having a child with autism. If you already have one child with autism, you have an increased risk of having another child with autism. The genes associated with autism are complex -- and a genetic inclination toward autism may require an environmental "trigger" to cause symptoms

  • 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.
