ChildA child is defined as a human being between birth and puberty, typically regarded as a minor under the age of majority, which varies by jurisdiction. Children are characterized by their developmental stages leading to increased autonomy and social interaction, and they generally have fewer rights and responsibilities compared to adults. The understanding of childhood has evolved over history, influenced by cultural, legal, and social factors, with modern perspectives emphasizing the importance of a nurturing environment, education, and protection from exploitation. Additionally, children's health and well-being form essential aspects of their development, highlighting the role of family and community in fostering healthy growth. (Source: Wikipedia)
