I Am a Student

Okay now I have an answer. :) But first, I think you should read Beatrice Alemagna's "What is a Child?" From the details I've read, it looks informative and fun. I thought the question is difficult simply because the word definition itself means that it should apply to all children. Even the ages for consideration varies across countries from what I've researched so far. But I did find something that applies to all.

"A child is like a butterfly in the wind.
Some can fly higher than others,
But each one flies the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different.
Each one is special.
Each one is beautiful."

Credits to the writer. I don't really know who she/he is.

A child is a person who is small, or who is far away enough to appear small.

A childhood is a small head covering attached to many shirts and jackets.

🙂 not a clear-cut thing. Childhood is the time of innocence and dependence. Some last a long time, some not nearly long enough. "Child" is defined by lots of things, and we don't stop being one all at once...some people in some ways never stop. Sometimes good and sometimes bad depending on what part of the child remains. A child is the center of the universe. The sphere they acknowledge is small, but what they see in that sphere is magic and wonder. Observation is keen, perception skewed as everything is seen as relating to them. From the perspective of the parent, a child is something else altogether. LOL

Child: A pre-adolescent
Childhood: That period from birth to adolescence

Birth to 16 is a child I think.

The period of time where someone is looked after as a dependent, by parents, guardians or other older people. It's kind of a matter of perspective though maybe?

A child is someone you love unconditionally and forever, you try to protect them yet prepare them for life, hoping they will never know pain physical or emotional but being there to help them thru it, Using your own life experiences to make their road less bumpy. But still letting them take their own road and enjoy being a child, putting their needs before yours, always and forever.

Childhood...something you make sure a child has better than the one you had.
