The term "kids" is a general term and doesn't have a precisely defined age range. However, it typically refers to children between infancy and adolescence.
To provide more clarity, here's a breakdown of age ranges commonly associated with different terms:
- Infants: 0-1 year old
- Toddlers: 1-3 years old
- Preschoolers: 3-5 years old
- Children/Kids: 5-12 years old (This is the most common age range people think of when they hear the word "kids.")
- Teenagers: 13-19 years old
Therefore, the age range most accurately referred to as "kids" is generally considered to be 5-12 years old, although the term can sometimes be used more broadly to include toddlers and preschoolers. The context in which the word "kids" is used often determines the precise age range being referenced.
