Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.6-5
Standard of Care Applicable to Children
In considering whether or not a child has been negligent, you are not to judge the child by the
standard of care that you would apply to an adult. The reasonable care required of a child is the
care that may be reasonably expected of children of similar age, judgment and experience under
similar circumstances.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
