From childhood or since childhood?

Does anybody know? I�ve looked it up in the dictionary and it says "from childhood" but I�ve also seen it written the other way, which one is correct?

Thanks!

Hi Apayala:

Both are correct. You could say �I have had problems from chilldhood � to adulthood � or �I have had many problems since childhood. �

The first meaning a certain period in life to another period in life.

The second meaning when the problems started.

Hope this helps.
