'''Children''' are young [[human being]]s. While there is no specific age cut-off to being considered a child, typically at some point in mid to late [[adolescence]] a child comes to be known as a young man or young woman. Many [[culture]]s and [[tradition]]s do have rites of passage that occur at a defined age, after which the person is considered to have full [[adult]] status, but this is more symbolic than practical in today's modern world.

Adoring [[parent]]s will typically refer to their offspring as "their children" even when they are quite old, and perhaps have children of their own.

Children, particularly toddlers and prepubescents, are also called, depending on gender, little boys and little girls.
There are cases in which young adults or mid to late adolescents (still biologically adults) are mistakenly called "little boys" or "little girls", which are also disrespectful and [[Ageism|ageist]] terms towards said individuals. One notorious example is from the [[YouTube]]r JD Delay, who called a 16-year-old girl "little girl" and more.<ref>https://youtube.com/shorts/uKQLnRUnyrg?si=2oeAePJL3jC_5qbN</ref><ref>https://youtube.com/shorts/-8cmzLwu1J4?si=GxogCz6A5KtJkhsy</ref>
