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.

MLive.com all 2 news articles » From Google News Search: "Children" Do you think giving children sugary sweets and pop is a bad thing? Q. I buy big bottles of pop when I go shopping, mainly because I like drinking it, but I do let my children have it too. And when they ask for sweets and chocolate in the supermarket I limit them to what they can have. However, I do notice my son gets a bit hyper when he has fizzy drinks and sugary sweets. It irritares me but I know that children are just hyper all round. Is it such a bad thing and should I stop giving pop and sweets to my children? Asked by Charlotte M - Sat Jun 14 10:54:20 2008 - - 20 Answers - 1 Comments A. If they are drinking it all the time then yes, you should cut back. I think one drink (12oz can, not 20oz bottle) a day wouldn't hurt... like at lunch time. My 2 yr old gets sips off of my sodas every now in then (but I hardly drink them now, I drink sweet tea, which is still gonna make them hyper lol). I don't give them to her to drink all herself though, because she is only 2, but a sip won't hurt her. As for the chocolate & candy, the only thing like that my daughter eats is m&ms. She gets like 10 m&ms a day (thats just a guess, lol). I try to make a whole bag last a week and I don't give the 10 to her all at once. I give her 1 here or 2 there, when I need to bribe her into doing something (for example: she just got her ears pierced,… [cont.] Answered by *Mrs. Barberich since 11/02/08* - Sat Jun 14 11:07:40 2008 Did children have to work on farms during the time of the industrial revolution? 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.

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.
