+*'''Telning, ättling, avkomma/avkomling.''' Neutral, "telning" is an uncommon word that basically means progeny (or more directly the botanical term "scion" or "shoot"), "ättling" and "avkomma/avkomling" are standard words that mean "descendant" and "offspring" respectively. They are alternatives to refer to someone in relation to them being one's child, but not necesserily a young one. Would sound weird in conversation.
