International Children's Day is a day recognized to celebrate children. The day is celebrated on various dates in different countries.


Children's Week is an annual event celebrated in Australia during the fourth week in October, from the Saturday before Universal Children's Day to the following Sunday. It was established as a holiday in 1954. Until 1977 Child Care Week was held in various Australian states and territories focusing on children in care or those in institutions. It was held at different times. In 1984 it was decided to coordinate a national week to include all children.

Kulasegaram Sanchayan poses the question whether the children of today are smarter than those from the previous generations to Paediatricians, Sydney-baased Dr Mithiran Coomarasamy and Dr M. S. Safiullah of Nagarcoil, Tamil Nadu, India.
