The Greek goddess Demeter is considered the Greek goddess of children and teenagers. She also is a god that Greek women prayed to when they were having trouble with motherhood. Artemis was the goddess of babies while being born and girl children until marriage - and Apollo the protector of boy children in the same way: the Greeks seemed to believe that the Okeanides and the Potamoi protected girl and boy children as well.

EzraAll the gods except the maiden goddesses who are Athena, Artemis and Hestia, had children. The one who was the most famous for climbing in a bed with any pretty lady (or man) whom he saw, was Zeus.
Of the Olympian goddesses (Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter, Artemis, Athena), two - Athena and Artemis were maiden goddesses, unmarried, although Athena claimed for a son Erikhthonios, king of Athens; and Artemis is sometimes understood to have "adopted" the goddesses and mortals (both male and female) who joined her hunt and shared her vow.

Artemis, sister of Apollo, was goddess of children, of the hunt and of the moon.
