What is a tween?

Career: Tween

Tweens are children who are between childhood and adolescence, typically defined as being between the ages of 8 and 12. This stage is marked by significant physical, emotional, and social development as tweens begin to form their own identities and seek more independence from their parents. Tweens are often influenced by peer relationships, popular culture, and the increasing use of digital technology. Parents and caregivers play an important role in guiding tweens through this transitional period.
