What is the term for this, if there is such a term?
For example, if you're a parent, you refer to your offspring as a 'child' and the child refers to you as their 'parent'.
I am asking because I need to have a term for the relationship of a guardian to the child. For a child, they can refer to this person as their 'guardian' but the other way around (guardian to child) doesn't seem to have a term.
What should I call it?

I believe the usual term is 'ward'.
