select client, min(childAge) as youngest, max(childAge) as eldest
from table group by client
having youngest< 20 and eldest> 20

This is nearly right, except correlation names or names for temporary
columns are NOT allowed within the same sub-select, i.e. youngest and eldest
cannot be used in the having clause.
Select Client, Min(ChildAge), Max(ChildAge)
From Table
Group by Client
Having Min(ChildAge) < 20 and Max(ChildAge) > 20

This is nearly right.

select client, min(childAge) as youngest, max(childAge) as eldest
from table group by client
having youngest< 20 and eldest> 20



Give the min and max meaningful names and add a group by clause. Change the
WHERE to HAVING.

I haven't tested it, but it looks correct.
