So, what age is a tween you might ask? Well, the term ‘tween used be used for kids a few years before they turned 13 (which would be an actual teenager). So the group of kids from about 10- to 12-years of age are considered tweens.
But now a days, I notice a lot of young girls who are around age 7 or 8, being lured into this ‘tween category and mind-set. This is the age I like to refer to as a ‘Pre Tween.
As a mom of a 7 and a 1/2 year old daughter this is our daily struggle! While I love watching her grow and becoming so independent and smart I also want to protect her innocence and childhood. Of course every parents situation is different but in our personal world I don’t really see this pre tween phase happening as much with the boys as I do the girls.
