measures are taken by
the EU to
protect children in
the event of
families breaking up:
most recently the 2001
proposal on
mutual recognition of
decisions on
parental responsibility,
and the 2000
regulation on
enforcement of
judgments in
matrimonial and parental responsibility. (See Judicial-civil:
divorce and parental responsibility)

child is
the son or
daughter in
relation to
the father or mother.Obs. - We
will here consider the law, in
general terms, as it
relates to
the condition,
duties and rights of children;
and afterwards,
the extent which has been given to
the word child or
children by
dispositions in
wills and testaments.1.
children born in
lawful wedlock or
within a
competent time afterwards are presumed to be
the issue of
the father and follow his condition;
those born out of
lawful wedlock follow the condition of
the mother.
the father is
bound to
maintain his children and to
educate them,
and to
protect them from injuries.
children are, on
their part,
bound to
maintain their fathers and mothers when in need,
and they are of
ability so to do.
the father in
general is
entitled to
the custody of
minor children,
but under certain circumstances the mother will be
entitled to
them when the father and mother have separated.
children are liable to
the reasonable correction of
their parents.2
the term children does not ordinarily and properly speaking comprehend grandchildren or
issue generally;
yet sometimes that meaning is
affixed to it in
cases of
necessity and it
has been held to
signify the same as
issue in
cases where the testator, by
using the terms children and issue indiscriminately,
showed his intention to
use the former term in
the sense of issue, so as to
entitle grandchildren, etc. to
take under it.When
legally construed,
the term children is
confined to
legitimate children.
the civil code of
louisiana enacts,
that 'under
the name of
children are comprehended not only children of
the first degree,
but the grandchildren, great-grand-children
and all other descendants in
the direct line.'Children
are divided into legitimate children, or
those born in
lawful wedlock;
and natural or
illegitimate children who are born bastards or
those which are not incestuous.Posthumous
children are those who are born after the death of
their fathers.In Pennsylvania,
the will of
their fathers in
which no
provision is
made for them is revoked, as
far as
regards them, by
operation of law. Â

the blessing of offspring,
but especially of
the male sex, is
highly valued among all eastern nations,
while a
the absence is
regarded as
one of
the severest punishments. (Genesis 16:2; 7:14; 1
samuel 1:6; 2
samuel 6:23; 2
kings 4:14;
isaiah 47:9;
jeremiah 20:15;
psalms 127:3,5) As
soon as
the child was born it
was washed in a bath,
rubbed with salt and wrapped in
swaddling clothes. (Ezekiel 16:4;
job 38:9;
luke 2:7) On
the 8th
day the rite of circumcision, in
the case of a boy,
was performed and a
name given. At
the end of a
certain time (forty
days if a
son and twice as
long if a daughter)
the mother offered sacrifice for her cleansing. (Leviticus 12:1-8;
luke 2:22)
the period of
nursing appears to
have been sometimes prolonged to
three years. (Isaiah 49:15) 2 Macc. 7:27.
the time of
weaning was an
occasion of rejoicing. (Genesis 21:8)
both boys and girls in
their early years were under the care of
the women. (Proverbs 31:1)
afterwards the boys were taken by
the father under his charge.
daughters usually remained in
the women's apartments till marriage. (Leviticus 21:9;
numbers 12:14; 1
samuel 9:11)
the authority of parents,
especially of
the father,
over children was very great, as
was also the reverence enjoined by
the law to be
paid to parents.
the inheritance was divided equally between all the sons except the eldest,
who received a
double portion. (Genesis 25:31; 49:3; 21:17;
judges 11:2,7; 1
chronicles 5:1,2)
daughters had by
right no
portion in
the inheritance;
but if a
man had no son,
his inheritance passed to
his daughters,
who were forbidden to
marry out of
the father's tribe. (Numbers 27:1,8; 36:2,8) Â Â

A
child (plural:
children) is
primarily a boy or girl who
has not reached puberty. However,
some youth reach puberty earlier or
later than expected. It is
because of this, as
well as
the varying degrees of
mental development,
that a
youth is
often defined as a
child by
either psychological or
chronological age rather than biological.
the term also refers to
offspring of
any age;
adults remain the children of
their parents, no
matter what their age. It
can be
applied to non-human offspring, as in the child node of a tree.
``Dream of
children sweet and fair, To
you will come suave debonair,
fortune robed in
shining dress,
bearing wealth and happiness.'' To
dream of
seeing many beautiful children is
portentous of
great prosperity and blessings.
for a
mother to
dream of
seeing her child sick from slight cause,
she may see it
enjoying robust health,
but trifles of
another nature may harass her. To
see children working or studying,
denotes peaceful times and general prosperity. To
dream of
seeing your child desperately ill or dead,
you have much to fear,
for its welfare is
sadly threatened. To
dream of
your dead child,
denotes worry and disappointment in
the near future. To
dream of
seeing disappointed children,
denotes trouble from enemies,
and anxious forebodings from underhanded work of
seemingly friendly people. To
romp and play with children,
denotes that all your speculating and love enterprises will prevail. Â
your children are not your children.
they are the sons and daughters of
life's longing for itself...
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in
the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in
your dreams. Â
I
have a
dream that my 4
children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be
judged by
the color of
their skin but by
the content of
their character. Â
If
growing up is
the process of
creating ideas and dreams about what life should be,
then maturity is
letting go again. Â
the dream is a
fragment of
the abandoned psychic life of
the child. Â
