"Tween" is a term commonly used to refer to a person who is in the age group between childhood and adolescence, typically around the ages of 9 to 12 years old. The term "tween" is a blend of the words "teen" and "between," indicating the transitional stage between being a child and a teenager.
During the tween years, individuals undergo physical, cognitive, and emotional changes as they approach adolescence. This stage is often characterized by a growing sense of independence, exploration of personal interests, and the development of social relationships outside the family.
