Usage Note
Mioche is a familiar and affectionate term for a young child, roughly equivalent to 'little one' or 'kiddo' in English. It is gender-neutral in meaning despite the form — un mioche or une mioche are both possible. It belongs to everyday spoken French rather than formal writing.
Examples
"Les mioches jouaient dans le jardin."
Natural Translation
The kids were playing in the garden.
