9-11 Years Old Suggestion

Children in this age group might:

  • Start to form stronger, more complex friendships and peer relationships. It becomes more emotionally important to have friends, especially of the same sex.
    • Experience more peer pressure.
      • Become more aware of their body as puberty approaches. Body image and eating problems sometimes start around this age.
      • Face more academic challenges at school.
        • Become more independent from the family.
          • Begin to see the point of view of others more clearly.
            • Have an increased attention span.
