children and youth

Children and youth are young people in different stages of development. Children typically refer to individuals from birth up to around 12 years old, while youth generally include teenagers up to their early twenties. During these stages, individuals experience significant physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. They are still learning, exploring, and forming their identities, and they require focused support, education, and guidance to develop into healthy, responsible adults. Recognizing these stages helps society provide appropriate resources and care to nurture their well-being and future potential.
