Once children reach the age of 10 or so, they begin to change. Not so much physically (that’ll come later) but rather in their attitudes and interests, which start edging closer to those of an adult — with their own preteen spin. This usually requires parents to rethink and retool their approach to how they address and discipline their children’s behaviors.
