Children
From RationalWiki
Children are larval human beings. They start out as helpless babies, unable to feed or care for themselves at all, and gradually grow larger and learn useful skills. At such a young age, they are often quite vulberable to certain myths, such as the one that a big fat man in red and a beard gives them presents at the end of every year.
Usually by the age of seven or so, they will exhibit relatively distinct personalities and burgeoning talents or skills. A few years later, puberty strikes and makes them once more helpless for a couple-three years.
After puberty turns them into little adults, fully capable of breeding, they will still need anywhere from two to twelve years further training in order to play a useful role in society. This time period partly depends on how "advanced" the culture in which they live has become, and the individual's career ambitions.
