children

Children is a popular tag most often used by bloggers discussing items of interest to children such as children's books and/or topics of interest to the people who care for and teach children, such as parents, teachers, and librarians. Many people use the term children when discussing topics about anyone not yet an adult, or those under age 18. In the area of children's literature, children generally refers to those up to age 12. Books for ages 13 and up are termed young adult or YA.

Often, many blogs about children are written by parents and generally by moms. Parents have many questions and opinions about raising children, and there are many regular discussions across the web on this topic. There are also a number of great blogs where parents can find interesting and meaningful activities for spending family time that help enrich the lives of both parents and their children.
