tween years
Between child, teenager
The tween years are the period between childhood and the teenage years, roughly ages nine through twelve.
The term captures an in-between state—no longer a small child but not yet a teenager: The tween years can be awkward for both kids and parents.
Marketing often targets this demographic specifically.
