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. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, since we asked my MIL for advice about helping our 2 year old sleep. She said something to the effect of "Make sure your house is clean, make sure (your child) is clean..." So, what do you think? Do children (small children specifically) behave better, act happier, and sleep better when their homes are neat and clean? What degree of cleanliness or messiness would make the difference? Asked by rainwriterm - Wed Jul 1 21:27:10 2009 - - 24 Answers - 0 Comments A. i agree that parenting has everything to do with better behaved children. Your MIL may be referring to Qi and Feng-Shui (without realizing) That when things are in order, the energy or Qi should flow unobstructed and there is little or no displaced (misplaced) or blocked energy flow. I once had a sleepless night and I'm sure it was the energy from a big pile of unfolded clothes left in the middle of the room that night. A good parent is in control of her children even when she is not present. Answered by hbvmmix - Wed Jul 1 21:38:26 2009 How many Children should a couple have during their marriage? Q. It seems that in some cultures, it is normal to have a Brady Bunch family. In more modern times, especially in America, it seems that many couples are opting to have 2-4 children.

Answered by GROOVY LILY - Sun Dec 10 19:23:49 2006 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. Answered by jknca04 - Thu Apr 19 20:45:10 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Children" Quotes regarding children.
