In just a few weeks my youngest child will go from being a tween to being a full-fledged teen. One day he will be a 12 year-old boy and the next, a 13 TEEN year old.
Having gone through this transition with my two older children, I know this change from tween to teen will be very subtle at first. Small changes will occur in his looks and attitude (some of which have already started). Then suddenly, I will look at my once little boy and realize he has morphed into a young man before my very eyes.

What’s the first sign your tween is turning into a teen? You have to wake them up for school or set an alarm. Biological sleep patterns change as tweens become teens and they sleep later.
