PRETEENS
Now
Preteens yearn for independence and desire to escape being smothered by parents. Typical 09- to 12-year-olds are beginning the process of separating their identities from their parents, which continues on through adolescence
We have structured our content to match with the need of this age group. Our trainers are oriented on the details and how to deal with the changing age and behavior.
Preteens are beginning to think for themselves.
They question what they’ve always accepted as truth and see things from a different angle. They begin to question their faith, and maybe even experience some doubt on certain truths they have previously believed to be true.
This is actually a good thing. They need opportunities to hash out their questions and doubts.
Preteens are in transition from childhood to adolescence
They’re no longer kids and not quite teenagers. They’re in a constant state of change and transition.
Preteens are undergoing massive amount of changes in all areas of their lives: cognitively, physically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.
They’re literally morphing into adolescence.
Preteens want to "own" their relationship with Jesus.
Yes, it is possible for preteens to “own” their relationship with Jesus. They’re ready and willing!
They’re capable of: – Taking steps to nurture a relationship with God on their own. – Paying attention to what God is doing in and around them. – Developing habits like prayer, worship, Bible reading, etc.
Spiritual Development
Preteens’ emerging ability to think abstractly plays a big role in their spiritual development. “They’re able to question and challenge things they ‘firmly’ believed only months before. Their minds are eager to question their faith…and the validity and content of Scripture.”
