Single Child Page?

How do I only ask for a single child page? I can only find examples to loop through and display all of them. I’d love to say, “Only the page with this tag” or “Only the latest page by publish date.”

   <?php foreach($page->children() as $subpage): ?>
  <li>
    <a href="<?= $subpage->url() ?>">
      <?= html($subpage->title()) ?>
    </a>
  </li>
  <?php endforeach ?>

Pretty sure I just figured this out. For anyone else looking, there are a number of filter options:

Ok - I need a nudge here…

This code shows every child of the “Work” page:

<?php if ($projects = page('work')): ?>

        <?php foreach ($projects->children()->listed() as $project): ?>
          <!-- Stuff here. -->
        <?php endforeach ?>

<?php endif ?>

I’m attempting to use the filterBy feature to show only a single child of the Work page, but so far no luck:

<?php if ($projects = page('work')): ?>

        <?php foreach ($projects->children()->filterBy('tag', 'featured', ',') as $project): ?>
          <!-- Stuff here. -->
        <?php endforeach ?>

<?php endif ?>

I figured it out! I had my field named “tags” in my blueprint, but I was trying to filter by ‘tag’.
