A child (plural: children) is a young human. Precise definitions vary; the American Heritage Dictionary[Houghton Mifflin Company. Definition of child. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.] defined a child as an individual who has not yet reached puberty, while the Convention on the Rights of the Child defines it as any person under the age of 18.[Convention on the Rights of the Child, Part 1, Article 1.] This article discusses prepubescent minors.
The term "child" is also a counterpart of parent: adults are the children of their parents despite their maturation beyond infancy; for example "Benjamin, aged 46, is the child of Tobias, aged 73". Similarly in a generalized sense, see child node.
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.
