tayiie Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Since the terms aren't something I'm familiar with I would like to know, where do you draw the line between infant, baby, toddler, adult kid and teenager? Link to comment
Elfy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 18-19 is adult for me rather than teenager. Adult kid is maybe 5-18 but not sure about the rest. Link to comment

WakkoWannaBe Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've caught myself referring to undergraduate students as "kids." "Kid" can sometimes be derogatory, but I never mean it like that. Most undergrads are just like 5-7 years younger than me, but that's such a big difference in some aspects. Link to comment
Dubious Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think its wrong to call 18 and 19 for teenagers, even though "teen" comes from the fact that the numbers/ages have "teen" in them, its mostly used in the porn industry and when joking with them "your not an adult, you still Link to comment
PetahPetah Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 i thought i'd read, maybe in dd, that "adult kid" referred to a legal-adult who does regression and acts like a child, or else is emotionally immature and "childish." Link to comment
Kaliborio Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 They overlap as far as I'm concerned. I think of 'infant' and 'baby' as synonyms but if I had to pick I would say 'infant' is only up to about 3 months. 'Baby' is up to 2 and a half years old in my opinion. 'Toddler' is 2 to 3 and a half years old. Adult kids usually regress to somewhere between 5 and 10 in my experience. Actual 'kids' are 3 to 12 years old in my opinion. 'Teens' are, as you say, 13 to 19. Arguably 'teenagerhood' goes up to 21 in places where that is the age of majority. Link to comment
