  NPR : Excerpt: 'Five Children and It'
The children had explored the gardens and the outhouses thoroughly before they were caught and cleaned for tea, and they saw quite well that they were certain to be happy at the White House.
The children built a castle, of course, but castle-building is rather poor fun when you have no hope of the swishing tide ever coming in to fill up the moat and wash away the drawbridge, and, at the happy last, to wet everybody up to the waist at least.
These children, you see, believed that the world was round, and that on the other side the little Australian boys and girls were really walking wrong way up, like flies on the ceiling, with their heads hanging down into the air.

Due to their size, physiology and behaviour, children were more vulnerable than adults to environmental hazards, it said, adding they were more heavily exposed to toxins in proportion to their body weight and had more years of life ahead of them in which they might suffer long-term effects from early exposure.
Children between five and 18 years of age might face higher risks of injuries - including exposure to hazardous chemicals - due to their growing participation in household chores and work outside of home, the PRB report said.
Children in cities with populations greater than 10 million were exposed to levels of air pollution two to eight times higher than the level WHO considered acceptable, the PRB report said.

Children whose parents or brothers or sisters are overweight may be at an increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can be linked to shared family behaviors such as eating and activity habits.
Children's feelings about themselves often are based on their parents' feelings about them and if you accept your children at any weight, they will be more likely to feel good about themselves.
If your children see that you are physically active and having fun, they are more likely to be active and stay active for the rest of their lives.

 Five Children and It - Reviews - www.smh.com.au
In a sunny variation on the "genie in the lamp" scenario, five children from London are spending a pleasant but prosaic summer in the country when they unearth a "sand-fairy", an ancient, magical creature with the power to give them anything they want - for a few hours.
World War I is raging, the children's father, now a pilot, has been assigned to fly Sopwith Camels for the Royal Air Force, and their mother is to do her bit for the war effort by nursing the wounded.
So the children have no choice but Cornwall and Uncle Albert, who shares his castle with his son, Horace (Alexander Pownall), a chronically grumpy child with a gruesome taste in science experiments, and their housekeeper, Martha (Zoe Wanamaker), who may well be daffier than either of them.

She said it was a very bad idea to have a will leaving my assets equally to five children.
Instead, she recommends a living trust to avoid probate costs in the three states where I own property and to specify that after I die all my assets be sold with the net proceeds then divided among my living children.

 Environmental hazards kill five million children a year -- Dyer 326 (7393): 782 -- BMJ
It is a little known but devastating fact that every year over five million children aged 0 to 14 die, mainly in the developing world, from diseases related to their environments—the places where they live, learn, and play," said Dr Brundtland.
Children under 5, who comprise only 10% of the world population, currently bear 40% of the global disease burden.
She urged governments, charities, and researchers to participate in the programmes of the Healthy Environment for Children Alliance, which was founded last September at the world summit on sustainable development in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Five Friends from Japan, an exhibit produced by a collaboration between the Association of Children's Museums (ACM) and The Freeman Foundation as part of the Asian Exhibit Initiative, is an introduction to childhood in contemporary Japan.
For visitors, this story is wrapped up in an extended stay that begins at school and moves on to "homestays" with students— immersive environments in which the children describe their families, their interests, and the things that matter most to them.
While the exhibit is organized around the physical scapes in which children live, the exhibit experience is focused on the personal space created when five children from Japan invite visitors into their lives.
