"Child" is a social construction

In this article there is no conclusive definition of what or who is a child. At first we read that a child "is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty" but for the UNICEF, which is quoted at lenght in the article, "A child is any person under the age of 18." https://www.unicef.org/child-rights-convention/convention-text-childrens-version Puberty starts around the age of 10 and often even before. 95.235.217.174 (talk) 14:52, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 15 August 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the introduction, please remove this sentence:

It may also refer to an unborn human being.

and add this in its place:

The term may also refer to an unborn human being.

This is a words-as-words situation; "it may also refer to an unborn human being" means that a child may talk about the unborn, which is obviously not the intended meaning. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:45, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
