'''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.
Grandchildren are one's children's children.
