preadolescent

The Chinese term '青春期前期' refers to the stage in a child's life before they reach adolescence, typically encompassing ages 9 to 12. This term is often used in educational and developmental contexts to discuss the physical, emotional, and social changes occurring as children approach their teenage years. In discussions about child development, understanding this stage is important for recognizing the child's needs, behaviors, and the challenges they may face.
