A child (plural children) is a human 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." [1]The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.[2] Ratified by 192 of 194 member countries. Biologically, a child is anyone in the developmental stage of childhood, between infancy and adulthood. Social attitudes toward children differ around the world in various cultures. These attitudes have changed over time. A 1988 study on European attitudes toward the centrality of children found that Italy was more child-centric and Holland less child-centric, with other countries, such as Austria, Great Britain, Ireland and West Germany falling in between.[3] The age at which children are considered responsible for their own actions (marriage, voting e.g.) has also changed over time, and this is reflected in the way they are treated in courts of law. In Roman times, children were regarded as not culpable for crimes, a position later adopted by the Church. In the nineteenth century, children younger than seven years old were believed incapable of crime. Children from the age of seven were considered responsible for their actions. Therefore, they could face criminal charges, be sent to adult prison, and be punished like adults by whipping, branding or hanging.[4]

1. How to Self-Publish Your Children's Book
February 08, 2010
Writing:
No, we are not going to try to tell you how to write a children's book, we are merely going to suggest that your book be written using an appropriate software program. For many reasons, a few of which we will go into here, we believe that MS Word is your best bet. There are other similar programs out there which are free (Open Office is the best), but if you are sending files back and forth with a co-writer or editor, Word is by far the most common word processing program on the planet, and using it will ultimately make formatting much easier. When it comes to incorporating your ... (read more)

6. Teenager with a Checking Account
February 09, 2010
When should children have their first checking account? I am a big believer that children should have their first checking account when they are still living at home so they can have your supervision and guidance. I would say junior or senior year of high school for a first checking account. Yes, I know that they won’t be 18 yet and can’t get an account by themselves. As a parent, you will have to be on the account as well, which is all for the better. Imagine what could go wrong if your children haven’t figured out that the checks themselves aren’t money. What if they don’t really ... (read more)

7. Fun Filled Science Kits for Children
February 09, 2010
Due to modern teaching programs and cuts in school budgets, lab science has been left out of many elementary school curriculums. In addition to this, in order to increase the passing scores on the state and federal mandated standardized testing, schools have focused on teaching students straight from the textbook. Plus, with the economy failing, schools are having difficult times getting by, causing them to cut out the expensive costs of lab equipment and supplies needed by a science class. This has led many elementary and middle school children to fall behind in respect to having a true scope... (read more)

February 08, 2010
When it comes to keeping your kids clothed, it’s a toss-up between them trashing their garments or growing out of them; whichever comes first! With smaller children using a sibling’s hand-me-downs can be a very cost-effective way to keep them in suitable togs, but as children progress into the teen years they develop a fashion consciousness all of their own. Lucky parents will have children that seek to be smart at affordable prices whereas, when it comes to the impact on their wallets, really unfortunate mums and dads will be housing kids that crave only designer labels.

17. What is the Best Age to Start Learning Chinese?
February 08, 2010
Teaching Chinese as a second language has been deemed easier on younger children than those who are starting to learn over puberty. Some start as early as infancy where the child’s brain is like a sponge, absorbing everything it encounters.
