Not a child anymore

Answer:

GROWN

Hint:

Think of the word that describes someone who has fully matured beyond their early years.

Explanation:

"Not a child anymore" hints at someone who has matured past childhood, which is exactly what "grown" means. The word is straightforward here—no tricks or wordplay—just a simple definition. It’s the opposite of being young or immature, like when someone says, "I’m all grown up now."
