â¢ CHILDBEARING (noun). The noun CHILDBEARING has 1 sense: 1. the parturition process in human beings; having a baby; the process of giving birth to a child. Familiarity information: CHILDBEARING used as a noun is very rare.
Child rearing is just another term for raising children, bringing up children.<br /><br /><br />I would like to add that it is not just the basic food, shelter, clothing triad that keeps children alive, but also the active moulding of character, personality, talents, and emotional and physical well-being of the child.
