Dwarf children can already deconstruct walls,floors,etc. and harvest plants from farms. I would suggest getting a bit of cleaning labour out of them would be a small step that would make fortresses less vomit strewn, and also make dwarf children more popular.

+1 for even more child labor

I agree. This game is based on medieval Europe. Children should also farm and do whatever they're physically able to.

It seems that tasks will eventually require tools (though this requires some way of relieving the player of micromanaging the tool production), so putting size requirements in the tools will allow children to gradually take on a trade.

Also sizes and weights for objects so children can haul according to their size.

[Badger Storm]

Agreed.  It would be nice to not rely on DFHack to get the badger blood off the mountainside.  I'd also like to see them doing other labors that wouldn't be too hard or dangerous for kids.  Milking, fishing, herbalism, maybe pottery or glazing...

Ah, mankind! Pushing moral boundaries as far as we can push them just to see if we can get away with it. Man up Urist McBaby. You've got work to do. I'll change your diaper when you get home from the mines.

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

The suggestion isn't to implement baby coal miners, but instead simply make children clean up all the vomit and blood that fortresses get covered in so they're not completely useless.

And FB extract. I'm sure it's what we're all thinking.

Well, they do help in harvesting already.

Picking up stray socks and worn clothes to store them would also be nice, but to be honest probably completely unrealistic.

[Deboche]

I would love it if there was a ragpicker labour specifically for those pesky tattered clothes
