Overview

A child (子供/こども kodomo) is an age between an adult and an infant. In other words it is a person from birth to puberty.


Japanese Notation

Since some time ago, the term "子ども" has been used mainly in the welfare industry and in education.

This is because the character "供" is seen as having a negative image, being seen with such things as "a offering/sacrifice" or "an adult's associate" (citation maybe needed).
