Teases children (4)
I believe the answer is:
kids
I believe this is a double definition.
'teases' is the first definition.
(kidding is a kind of teasing)
'children' is the second definition.
('kid' can be a synonym of 'child')
(Other definitions for kids that I've seen before include "Young goats" , "They make immature butts" , "Teases" , "Youngsters" , "Children" .)
