Age 11 sits in a quiet transition that adults often miss. Kids this age are becoming more aware of themselves, other people, and how they’re perceived. But that awareness develops faster than regulation, perspective, and emotional flexibility. So behavior can look inconsistent, intense, or confusing from the outside. What’s often misunderstood as attitude, resistance, or pulling away is usually a child learning how much effort to give, how visible they feel, and how to protect themselves when things feel uncertain. Nothing is going wrong here. Something is forming. Big Kids, Bigger Feelings breaks down these less-talked-about middle childhood shifts and how to respond in ways that protect connection instead of creating shame.
