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 18 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. From Wikipedia under the

I live in Florida and am interested in "adopting" needy children (giving them new clothing, toys, etc.) for Christmas. I know the Salvation Army is offering an Adopt a Child for Christmas program at our local mall, but I've adopted six children from this program this year and would like to perhaps find other programs/children that are in need of something for Christmas. Does anyone know of any websites I could check out that would point me in the right direction as to how to locate programs that are offering adults the ability to "adopt" a child for Christmas?

Hospice is an organization that provides care to the terminally ill and grief care to the familys of ill patients, you might be able to help out children who have recently lost a parent or someone close during the holidays. also look into adopting an senior citizen. thats what I did last year and got her some slippers and a phonecard to call her family cuz she couldnt afford to. I also must say kudos to you for making such a wonderful difference! :) oh and I forgot to meantion that I found the senior citizen adoption at a local department store on a christmas tree display where you would buy the present at the store and give it to the store… [cont.] Answered by Mayor McKim - Sat Nov 18 14:53:55 2006 How have children been viewed in the past? Q. Today it seems to me that children have many rights and are viewed as human beings that need to be treated with respect and dignity. How were children viewed in the past? Property? Slaves? Asked by oreomybunny - Mon Sep 4 22:02:24 2006 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. In the past, children were to be seen and not heard. They were to respect their elders and instead of carrying on, they were supposed to be quiet and learn from their elders.

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.
