This a guide for the currently ongoing Children’s Week event. The Children’s Week achievements and the meta achievement “For The Children” are part of the “What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been” achievement which requires players to complete all event achievements in World of Warcraft. If you manage this you will get a “Violet Proto-Drake” mount.
The Children’s Week event runs from 29th April to 5th May 2012.

Aw, Isn’t It Cute? [CUT]

You can get more than one Children’s Week pet each year.

Hail To The King, Baby [BAB]
If you are level 85 then you can solo this all you have to do is kill Ymiron on normal or heroic in Utgarde Pinnacle with your orphan out. If you are at lower levels get some friends together or use the dungeon finder.
Can pretty hard to do this one or very easy depend how you play and if you get lucky either way just get a group together or keep trying is the only advice you need.
School of Hard Knocks requires you to return a Warsong Gulch flag, assault a flag in Arathi Basin, assault a tower in Alterac Valley, and cap a flag in Eye of the Storm while you have your orphan out. Be ready to see some odd and quite hilarious battlegrounds while this event runs.
Veteran Nanny (optional) [NAN]
Not required for the meta but players with two of the three Outland Children’s Week pets can get this achievement by getting a third pet they havent already got from previous years.
Rewards [REW]
Complete the meta achievement “For The Children” to gain the title “Matron” (Female) or the title “Patron” (Male) and some easy achievement points.
