Preteens also known as 6th graders, called “tweeners,” are caught at the junction between childhood and becoming a teenager. Some are still holding on to their childhood toys while others are eager to jump on to “teen stuff”. They are surrounded by many noises and distractions. There are so many decisions to make. They want to grow up, but they feel insecure and uncertain. The influence of peers and media is overwhelming. Preteens need direction and a safe place to find out who they are in Christ.
They do not know how to voice their needs, but we all know they need these five essentials:
- Big God I can trust no matter what
- Friends who believe what I believe
- Another voice that will say the same things as parents
- Parents who make it their business to know where their preteens are spiritually
- An uncommon sense to help them make wise choices
