Sometime between the ages of 9 and 13, your mostly sweet-tempered child – the one who broke into a wide grin the second you walked into the room – will look at you and roll her eyes in response to reminders about picking up clothes or have rude outbursts over the least little thing.
This leaves parents wondering, "what happened?"
What's happened is your child has entered the "tween" years, and all of this is perfectly normal, said Dr. Liza Wilson, professor of curriculum and instruction in The University of Alabama's College of Education.
The University of Alabama has a fantastic website, "Read Tween the Lines", where UA experts share their knowledge on transition to middle school, tween behaviors, tween economics, tween reading, tween relationships, and dropout prevention at the middle school level.
Topics include:
- Attitudes/Behaviors of Tweens
- Dropout Prevention
- Tweens Impact on Economy
- Young Adult Literature
- Teaching Tweens About Money Management
- Middle School Transition
- Making Friends
