Definition
“Child defines not just physiological immaturity but
also connotes dependency, powerlessness and
inferiority. Childhood, however, focuses more on
the general state of being a child, does not refer to
an individual child and suggests the existence of a
distinct, separate and fundamentally different
social group or category”(Gittins, p. 37).
