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.

So it most likely depended where you lived.
