孩子

Usage 1 - "child"

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• When KIDS are playing hide & seek, they shouldn't hide so (háizi) well that you are never found.
• Image of kids playing a game.

女孩

Usage 2 - "female child (not a young woman if adding 子)"

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• A girl child is a YOUNG LADY (both actual children and 'young ladies' in their teens and early 20s). If you add another child (子), you can be sure it's a YOUNG FEMALE CHILD.

Usage 2 - "male child (not a young man if adding 子)"

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• A boy child is a YOUNG MAN (both actual children and 'young men' in their teens and early 20s). If you add another child (子), you can be sure it's a YOUNG MALE CHILD.
• If you image search 男孩, you'll get a good sense of how this can mean both a male child and a young man.

小孩 

Note: Sometimes pronounced 小孩儿.
