  We introduce a square lattice into the Penna bit-string model for biological
ageing and study the evolution of the spatial distribution of the population
considering different strategies of child-care. Two of the strategies are
related to the movements of a whole family on the lattice: in one case the
mother cannot move if she has any child younger than a given age, and in the
other case if she moves, she brings these young children with her. A stronger
condition has also been added to the second case, considering that young
children die with a higher probability if their mothers die, this probability
decreasing with age. We show that a highly non uniform occupation can be
obtained when child-care is considered, even for an uniform initial occupation
per site. We also compare the standard survival rate of the model with that
obtained when the spacial lattice is considered (without any kind of
child-care).
