[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 4th grader at an independent school and I see a lot of the same thing.  It’s that age stuck between being little kids and tweens. They want iPhones dnd drunk elephant but still play with toys occasionally and sit on my lap at the doctors if nervous.

Mine is the one with the older sister so I’m sure she’s brought up things that some parents consider too old for the group.  I just set limits.  Facebook kids messenger goes to sleep early, no drink elephant bit bubble or elf for skincare and no boys or girls until high school.[/quote]

Since you say she has an older sister, how does this play out at home? Does older sister taunt younger sister for being a baby or immature or telling her things she likes aren't cool just because she's younger?[/quote]

NP, but one with middle and an elementary aged girls. Older sister doesn’t taunt younger or anything like that, but she’s also no longer interested in doing things that they’ve always done together. She doesn’t want to play legos or even “arrange” the doll house with her or watch the same shows. Younger still does these things and I find her to be more immature than many girls her age, but she’s also exposed to a more wide variety of things. She sees how middle and high schoolers act/dress/speak at middle and high school games where her older sister did not at this age.

I’ve noticed more that the girls her age who act more mature and like the OP described have Moms that want them to be cool and act like their friends. The moms see the trends and encourage their girls to follow. [/quote]
