(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A child is a young human. Depending on context it may mean someone who is not yet an adult, or someone who has not yet hit puberty (someone who is prepubescent).
Gender
A female child is called a girl and a male child is a boy (though a small percentage of humans are intersexual this is a distinction of biological sex not necessarily social or psychological gender). Apart from the genitals, young children do not differ much by sex. Whether cultural and parental practices emphasize or weaken gender identity is subject to debate. For instance, parents often discipline boys more, which potentially weakens their inborn more aggressive nature making them more similar to girls. In general, the extent to which gender identity is formed during childhood or congenital is a matter of much debate within psychology and genetics.
Law
In law, a person who is not yet a legal adult is known as a minor (known in some places as an juvenile, or, in others, as a infant). For example, in many countries a person under the age of 18 is a minor. Most countries give additional legal protection to minors despite their underage status, and all UN member states except the United States and Somalia have ratified the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, although not all of them have followed it.
Development
Child development is the study or examination of processes and mechanisms that operate during the physical and mental development of an infant into an adult.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. It encompasses ages from prenatal to teenagers and even young adults (ages 0-21 years).
Stages of development include:
- (Zygote, the point of Conception, fertilization)
- (Embryo; in the later stages also called fetus)
- (Birth)
- Child
- Infant (baby, newborn)
- Toddler
- Primary school age (also called prepubescence)
- Elementary school age (also called middle childhood)
- Preadolescence (preteen, or late childhood. The child in this and the previous phase are called schoolchild (schoolboy or schoolgirl), when still of primary school age.)
- (Adolescence) (teenage)
- (Young adult) (sometimes used as a euphemism for adolescent)
- (Adult)
- (Advanced adult/Senior)
- Sexagenarian
- Septuagenarian
- Octogenarian
- Nonagenarian
- Centenarian
- (Death)
Physical development
- Ability to lift and control the orientation of the head
- Crawling begins
- Walking begins
- Speech begins
- Voice lowers in pitch (especially noticeable in boys)
- Pubic hair appears
- Genitals and reproductive organs mature
- Menses begin (females)
- body hair and facial hair appears
Cognitive development
- Learning
- Music lessons
- Infant Education
- Language acquisition
- Developmental psychology
Notable child prodigies
- Christian Henry Heinecken (The Infant of Lübeck)
- Isaac Albeniz
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Street child
A street child is a child that lives on the street, in particular one that is not taken care of by parents or other adults, and also sleeps on the street because he or she does not have a home. [1]
Human development
Human development refers to all forms of development above, often in the context of clinical psychology or as human development theory (in economics, an outgrowth of welfare economics).
Both the psychological and economic fields share a special concern with education and language fluency including literacy and numeracy, and with identification and development of more unique talents into the economic variable known as individual capital.
Earlier branches of economics see humans in terms of labour for production, means of persuasion or protection, which tend to be skills acquired only in adolescence and adulthood. The human development view is more evident in sports, music and other performing arts, such as acting where the child begins training often as early as three years of age. Think of Tiger Woods and his early practice golfing.
While there are problems with such early "streaming", child murder, child abandonment, military use of children and other major social ills are thought to be reduced by a human development approach - as as there is a high value assigned to children by the state.
The UN Human Development Index is a means of measuring well-being used to rank states by these criteria. Although child abuse is thought to be lower in countries with a high ranking on this Index, that is not easily proven.

 | The photo of an electron micrograph of HHV-6 also includes a labeled insert of the mature virus particle. The HHV-6 is a double stranded DNA virus of the herpes family. The virus particles shown here have matured and are then released from the lymphocyte which has been infected. The "owl's eye" appearance of the virus particles is characteristic of the herpes family. The HHV-6, or the human herpes virus-6, was thought to infect b-cells and was at one time called HBLV, human b-lymphotropic virus. It is now known to infect t-cells and is the cause of the childhood rash "roseola" and some cases of mononucleosis. Credit: Bernard Kramarsky (photographer). |  | Childhood immunization. Vaccination.
