How often do you hear your child say, "I'm too old for this"? And how often do you as a parent reply, "But you're too young for that"? Welcome to the Tweens: a generation of fashion-conscious, fad-loving, filled-with-attitude youth. Your 12-year-old is so moody, she begs for concentration one minute, and then pretends you don't exist the next. You want to keep your 10-year-old in pigtails, but she tells you all the girls are wearing belly shirts.
The word tween is used for children just before their teens "between" childhood and being teenagers, regularly 9-12 years of age. Regardless of the exact age definition, most agree that the breaking point of a child becoming a tween is by the fifth grade (approximately ten years old), when he/she rejects more childlike images and associations and aspires to be more like a teenager.
