Raising tweens is a challenge! I have two in my house and it can get very dramatic at times. I think I would go back to the toddler years if I could to avoid it sometimes, but it’s really about changing how you interact with and treat your child that leads to a better relationship and allows the fun times to easily happen.
One big challenge of the tween years is finding gifts that your child will enjoy and use. If you are like me, you hate to spend money on something and then just watch it sit on a shelf or the floor. I love gift guides because I can get some new ideas about what kids may want and may even find a unique gift that others don’t have.
My daughter just turned 12 and I’m already stressing over what to get her this holiday season. Here are some cool gift ideas for tween girls I’ve come up with from talking to her and to some of my friends that have more experience with the tween girl scene.

Before we get to the list, here are some of my popular posts that are for tweens. I’m sure you’ll find some useful information in those too!
