The term child may also refer to the connection in the middle of a parent and their offspring. Even if the "child" is older, they will still often be referred to as their parents child as in an elderly man referring to their "children."

"Child" may also refer to individuals of lesser rank in group, tribe, or religion. It can even indicate time, place, or condition such as in reference to "child of the 80's."

How children are treated and viewed vary widely among nations and have changed over time. In the United States for instance, children were once viewed as an principal part of the survival of the family. They often worked side-by-side with their parents on a farm, in a factory, or studying a trade. They were required to mature speedily and often married much earlier than today.

Nowadays children are rarely, if ever, complex in the survival of the family and are allowed to mature much more slowly. This attitude is opinion to be more progressive, but also presents other problems. For example, many children spend a lot of time at home watching television, which in and of itself is not carefully beneficial. Additionally, this has been a major cause of childhood obesity, which has become a national epidemic. Children can also have maturity problems associated with being "babied" by their parents which can hurt their kids thinking. Sometimes parents coddle their children, believing they are not capable of being responsible, and consequently inhibit their maturity. This can furnish adults that are not ready for the world when they become legal adults.
