[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some tweens play with some toys but are getting interested in fashion and or makeup. It's often overlooked which is why a lot of tweens are watching shows for teenagers/ growing up too fast.

The point of the term tween in my opinion is to NOT make kids grow up too fast aka not considering an 11, 12 year old as a teen.[/quote]

What do you mean it's often overlooked? Do you consider 11 and 12 teen? I know some do, I just don't understand it. My intention is not to stop my child from growing up. I just don't want them to grow up before they have to. Plenty of time later to be a full blown teen and then an adult.[/quote]

11 and 12 are still tweens its 8 - 12.

Overlooked by media industry who make movies and TV shows. Lots of stuff is out there for little kids, teens and adults but barely anything for tweens.
Meaning a lot of parents let kids watch stuff that's tv 14 or pg 13. Which in my opinion why so many tweens are growing up so fast. [/quote]

PG-13 was invented by 80s moms who wanted to stunt their children's development. It's not a good thing. [/quote]
