All right, anyone who's spent time with ten-to-eleven-year-old boys and girls,

what are they like?

I have some ideas but it's been a while since I've spent a lot of time with that age group, so, you know, any observations you have about the age group would be welcome.

Ten is the same type of age as two - they are growing independent and so don't want help, yet are a bit clingy because they are simultaneously afraid of their independence. The smart ones feel more anxious at this age (about everything) because their bodies and maturity haven't caught up to their brain. And, last but definitely not least, this is the age where they get mouthy.

Good luck!
