Childness

/ˈtʃaɪldnɪs/ noun

The state, condition, or quality of being a child; childhood or childishness.

From 'child' + '-ness' (suffix forming abstract nouns). This is a somewhat archaic or rare formation; modern English prefers 'childhood' to 'childness,' though the '-ness' suffix could theoretically be applied to 'child.'
