Eleven year olds are referred to as tweens – the uncomfortable time between childhood and teenagers. Eleven brings tremendous emotional development and turmoil. This is the time when children start to lose interest in family outings and opt to rather spend time with friends. They want to see for themselves whether their is life ouside the walls of their family home.
Eleven year olds tend to have thorny relationships with the mothers in their lives and become less welcoming to expressions of love. They can often be rude and try to belittle parents in front of friends. This is in the effort to seem independent from parents and not like they are mommy’s boys or girls. Though this is normal it is in no way acceptable behavior. Parents should let tweens know that such disrespectful behavior is unacceptable and will be punished
It is around this age that they become cheeky and use “smart” talk (sigh.) They use physical shows of violence when angered – a ever-s0-often occurrence. Doors are slammed and they tend to kick at unsuspecting objects to give vent to their frustration. They can be egocentric, uncooperative and critical. Yet it is said that they are well-mannered when away from home. (Please let this be true!)
Decision-making skills improve further and they begin to use logical arguments. At ten they were still under the impression that the whole world shares their beliefs but from 11 years of age they realize that this is not the case.
Eleven year olds can be tearful, fearful and full of worries. This is to be expected when one takes into consideration the emotionally bruising time they have with friends. Peer pressure plays a enormous role in their lives and as mentioned in the development of 10 year olds this is essential for their future social and behavioral development. Girls tend to quarrel a lot with one another. Cliques, sleep-overs and fall-outs are at the order of the day. This tendency seems to quiet down around 12 years of age.
Eleven year old boys is not so much focused on who they play with as they are on sharing mutual interests.
As parents we cannot underestimate the role that peer pressure plays in the life of a eleven year old. Unless a child is solidly grounded in their concept of themselves and their place in their family they will have a hard time standing up to negative peer pressure. In order to feel as if they belong somewhere they would rather opt to do something wrong/bad than to be excluded from the group.
Thank you for a great post.
I never thought of it that way, well put!
