Pre-teens

A Chilean friend was telling me that at her church they've just starting to provide a special Sunday School for kids aged 9-13, who aren't really kids any more (they're dealing with more 'adult' issues), but who also aren't quite teenagers yet (too immature). It's a unique and difficult time of transition. The thinking was that Sunday School tends to focus on the younger kids and Youth Group the older teenagers, so kids at this crucial stage can get overlooked. I think there's a lot of wisdom here.
