How Parents Can Increase Emotional Intelligence For Their Preteens

Being a preteen comes with numerous challenges, both physical and mental. These manifest into social challenges as preteens experiment with boundaries and begin to find their place in the world. They are growing physically, and this is accompanied by a lot of hormonal changes. The hormones that begin puberty will also start activating toward the end of the preteen stage. To top it off, peer groups are gaining more importance in their lives, and fitting in outside of the immediate family is starting to take importance at school and in social situations.
