In the areas where middle school starts in 6th grade the kids are generally 11 or just turned 12 when they start 6th grade.


I know I startediddle school in 6th grade at 11. I thought it was too young then. I know areas where middle school starts even younger in 5th grade.

What exactly is a tween though? Are they not kids or do kid things anymore? Do they play? Because even after I started a puberty I'm seeing that I was still a kid alot longer than some.

Some of my kids were tweens at 9/10, the others not until 11/12. At 11, I still played with dolls.

My 11yo is definitely a tween. I think he was just a kid at 10.

23-19 is a young adult. Expect more from your college aged kid and they will act like adults.

13-18 teen

11-12 tween

Although I think young teens are closer to being kids.


My 11 year old DD does not act like a little kid any more, but she's not really a teen yet either. I think tween is a very good way to describe the in-between years

The tween concept started with marketing. It’s a concept that was created to make money.


Great point that I hadn't thought of.

I don’t consider my 9 year old a tween. I’d say more like 11-12.
