Is it a big deal to turn 13?
Is it a big deal to turn 13? 13 is a milestone birthday – a huge deal for all involved. Both child and parents will come face to face with new realities.
What should 13 year olds be doing?
They are meeting school requirements (managing homework and extracurriculars), and contributing to the household in which they live (doing chores, cooperating with rules and expectations). As they develop they will also test boundaries, forget things, and break rules.
Is 13 an important age?
During this time, it becomes more important than ever to fit in with peers. At 13, your teen is beginning to grow taller, gain weight, and become physically mature. Girls become fully physically developed during middle adolescence and boys reach physical maturity during late adolescence.
