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.

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 What are the basic rights of children? How can I do more to further the cause of child rights? Q. Is there anything concerning you re the rights of a child? Do you think that more can be done to protect children and their rights? What kind of rights would that be? Any ideas of how I can contribute to improve the situation concerning child rights? Asked by askerhere - Tue Feb 17 04:25:15 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. For one thing, you could advocate for universal health care so that all children have a right to medical attention when they are sick, without regard to their parents' poverty or immigration decisions, for which they are not responsible. Answered by unknown - Tue Feb 17 04:37:20 2009 What are the differences between breastfed children and formula fed children?
Q. I was not breastfed as a child, and I have a higher IQ than most of the kids in my sixth grade class. I am in all advanced classes that there are and I am a very logical thinker. Would my IQ have been higher if I was breastfed? What are the differences between breastfed and nonbreastfed children. Asked by Kate - Tue May 5 21:48:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. On average, breastfed babies have a slightly higher IQ than formula fed babies. Formula fed babies are sick more, have more alleriges, asthma, ear infections, respiratory infections, etc. than breastfed babies. Formula fed babies are more likely to be obese as children or adults, and formula fed babies may grow into be pickier eaters than breastfed babies. Breastfed babies tend to be more independent than formula fed babies as they grow older, because breastfed babies had their need for closeness and bonding met better at an early age. Premature babies who get breastmilk are more likely to survive and thrive than premature babies who get only formula. In some countries, diarrhea related to formula feeding is the leading cause of infant… [cont.] Answered by qtmama - Sat May 9 02:43:36 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Children" Quotes regarding children.
