Eleven and Twelve year olds
Sometime around turning eleven or twelve the kids might start to be preoccupied with how they look. This could be a time of rapid growth and development. School might be challenging or a breeze. Peers might be starting to have much more influence than you would like. Interests might include particular TV such as Star Wars or Futurama, Man Vs Wild, etc. Perhaps joining them to watch movies/DVDs of books they have read could be a worth doing next visit.
