Explanation
A child is a young human being who has not yet become an adult. Children are often curious, playful, and learning about the world around them. They depend on adults for guidance, care, and protection. A child’s mind is like a sponge—it absorbs knowledge, values, and experiences, shaping their personality, emotions, and behavior. Children grow physically, mentally, and emotionally over time. The term can also be used to describe someone immature or inexperienced in certain situations.
