The ‘Tween’ Epidemic: Encouraging Kids To Grow Up Too Fast Since 1997

by Koa Beck

But the development of a new childhood cohort in the name of product pushing is hardly anything new."

Looking back, you may have empathy for her, but as your child self, it was probably hard to see beyond her behaviors. My parents encouraged me to play with the kids who didn’t have friends. I did so at school, but I certainly didn’t invite them to my house to play."
