Childhood is the third [[life stage]] in ''The Sims 2'', and it lasts 8 days. Children still have the same [[Grow Up]] [[aspiration]] they had as [[toddler]]s, but their [[wants]] and [[fears]] are different. For the first time, making friends is important, as is being taught to study by an older Sim. (This is usually an older relative, but it can be an older friend, too). The school day for children lasts from 9AM to 3PM, Monday through Friday, and they receive homework after each school day. As in ''[[The Sims]]'', children whose grades are consistently poor will be removed from the family by the [[Social Worker]] (who can also take them away if their hunger or social [[motives]] drop too low, if they are too hot or cold, or if they are left at home with no older Sims in the house), but can later be [[Adoption|adopted]] by other families. |

Unlike the original, children in ''The Sims 2'' can't live alone without an older Sim present,<ref>Like all Townies in ''The Sims 2'', child Townies do not have parents in their family trees, and so, technically, they live alone.</ref>but can earn [[skill points]]. They can ask for (or be offered) lessons in all the original career reward items, and even use some of them independently. Children can also do some household chores, such as cleaning certain items and taking out trash. They can't [[Cooking|cook]] unless they use the toy oven, but they ''can'' still study cooking from a bookcase or the [[Television|Yummy Channel]]. They can also eat snacks from the fridge. The ''[[Seasons]]'' and newer expansion packs let Sims put away and retrieve leftovers from the fridge, making Sim kids a little less dependent on adults for food. They can go along with older Sims to community lots, although they cannot buy anything. Unlike children in ''The Sims'', children in ''The Sims 2'' cannot care for [[Baby|babies]] or [[Toddler|toddlers]], though they can use the "family kiss" and some "play" interactions on the latter. |
