When do you become a child?
As opposed to what? A baby? A toddler? Most people, and I don't think this is explicitly defined anywhere, would define a child as a human less than adult age, but older than a toddler or a baby. Here's my breakdown, take it for what it's worth: Baby - unable to walk or talk, dependent entirely on a mother for support and life. Toddler-able to walk and move around on it's own, but still dependent on another. Child-able to walk and talk, can do some things on it's own, but still highly dependent. Between 'child' and 'adult', there may be othe stages such as 'teenager' or 'young adult'. Generally, the law says you're a 'child' from birth until age 18 or in some cases, 21.
