Childhood in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' lasts 7 days in Normal [[lifespan]] mode, though it is possible to age Sims up at any time using the [[birthday cake]]. The life stage as a whole appears to represent Sims between the ages of 6 and 12.
From this life stage onward, Sims start [[wish]]ing for things they desire. As children, Sims will not initially have a [[lifetime wish]], but will be free to build skill levels, pursue hobbies and develop friendships that will affect later life. Some lifetime wishes, however, may become available during this stage as the child's hobbies become more defined, and hard-working child Sims that are assigned one of these early wishes can sometimes even fulfill them before they become teenagers.
The child stage now marks the point where acquired skills first become visible in a Sim's skill journal. Children can build all skills except charisma, instrument skills, athletic, and gardening.
For some reason, a child's cooking and handiness skills remain invisible until they become teenagers, but all their other skills will display normally.
Children have three [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]]. In order for the player to select a child's fourth trait when they become a teenager, the child must have a [[School (The Sims 3)|school performance]] of at least a B, otherwise the new trait will be chosen at random. The worse a child performs at school, the more likely they are to gain a negative trait upon aging up. Children cannot have romance-oriented or persuasive traits like "flirty" or "charismatic," but if testingcheatsenabled true is used, they can sometimes get them by randomly rolling traits.
Unlike older Sims, child Sims can only die from very few causes: from starvation, drowning, or meteor strike. This is by deliberately game design, possibly due to developers perceiving the death of children being disturbing or frightening to the developer.
===Dependencies and privileges===
In ''The Sims 3'', children are more depended than ever unlike in previous game. While they still cannot cook (with the exception of [[toy oven]], they're are however capable of retrieving quick meals and leftovers from the refrigerator. Children also no longer need supervision of a [[babysitter]] when left alone in the house. They are capable of using their [[cellphone]] for the first time (albeit strangely, unable to call emergency [[service]]s. It's also possible to have children make money on their own, as there activities they're able to do that makes profit (such as fishing, painting, or selling lemonade/bake goods).
Children can stay at home alone, visit their friends' homes or visit [[community lot]]s by themselves, but they must be back on their home lot before the town curfew (10:00pm). If a child is out past their curfew, they will follow the nearest older member of their household or automatically head home, after which they will be unable to leave before 6:00 in the morning.▼

Children will always choose bicycle, even when they don't own one, as a default means of long-distance transportation when cruising alone.
As of patch 1.6, children may interact with toddlers in various ways. Children can hug toddlers, read toddler books to them, and play peek-a-boo together. They can also feed toddlers on the ground or in a high chair. However, children cannot carry toddlers, place them in cribs or change their diapers, which prevents them from fully attending to the needs of toddlers without an older Sim or babysitter present.▼
Just with [[toddler]]s and [[babies]], the social worker will come and take away children, if one of them are left to starve to death or hadn't been given [[social|emotional support]]

Children are also capable of taking care, as well reinforce pets.
Unlike previous games in the series, a child will ''not'' be removed from the household for getting F on their report cards for a period of time. They may get grounded if ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' is installed.
