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.

Q. Santa scenario: good children get presents, bad children get lumps of coal. Christian scenario: good adults go to heaven, bad adults go to hell. See the similarities? You know, the Santa scenario is like a warm up for Christianity; a simple set of morals that a child can easily understand and when they grow up, this childlike state of mind stays with them and they think of themselves as good people and everyone not like them as bad people. And you also see how the Santa scenario is most prevalent in countries under the shadow of Christian organized religions?

Q. As in, they already had children without autism, then they have a child with autism. How do the parenting skills change? Asked by Izzy r - Tue Oct 14 20:12:06 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Im 14 years old. I have a brother and he is autistic and he is 13. I know from seeing them all the time that autism can make the parents life so much more stressful (including mine). But, i know patience is a big thing that changes when they had my brother. My dad isnt very good with that but i know my mom sure is. I mean, my brother is pretty smart (above the average smartness level of autism), he can read, write, spell, and do math. I know that having an autistic brother changed me completely, without him, i totally would look at life so much differently. It makes me appreciate autistic people and mentally challenged people way more than i would if i didnt have my brother. Also, ive been thinking of becoming a special teacher.

Q. I`m moving from country to country because my hubby is a businessman, so I have difficulty of tracking my children immunization schedule, besides the services in some country I am in is terrible. They have so many children coming in and out the immunization department. They didn`t even use swab before injection. And sometimes nurses come to your door to give polio to your child. They didn`t ask whether your child had taken or not. Sometimes my children have polio twice in a month. Once at school and one at home. I heard that immunization is not necessary now. It is parents` choice. Should I just refuse to get immunization for my children? or what the most important one my child should have? Asked by Aysha - Tue Jul 18 10:17:43 2006 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments A. It is one of the most important thing you can do for your child. All children need to be immunized. Breastmilk can protect babies only until 6 months. After that you need the shots. Do not believe all those nutjobs that say immunizations are no longer necessary. All we need is enough of those to bring even smallpox back! If you dont immunize your child could get sick and die from an illness that could be so easily preventable. Just imagine how you would feel then? Its not worth the risk. Dont worry about them getting a couple more shots than usual. Especially it doesnt matter with the oral polio thats why they dont ask. It wont hurt, provided the child hasnt had any allergic reactions previously. What is your country of residence? if… [cont.] Answered by Moonling - Tue Jul 18 23:47:44 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Children" Quotes regarding children.
