Tween and teens' worries
Summary
When the LSAC study children were aged 10–11 and 12–13, they were asked how worried they were about a range of issues relating to themselves, school, their families, and global issues. This chapter uses that data to examine the issues that concern Australian children and whether these worries change as young people move from being ‘tweens’ to teens. Comparisons are made between girls and boys, children from different family and cultural backgrounds and those living in country and city areas. This information may be helpful for parents and educators to support children and teens as they move through adolescence.
