8-13 year olds
Children between ages 8-13 know to love their parents; they are especially grateful for their parents' material and emotional support.  They yearn for time spent with their parents and are assured of their parents' love.  A harmonious family is important to them so parental discord terrifies them.  At the same time, awareness of their feelings and needs begins to form.  Their focus pivots from the parents to themselves and as such, they start to express their views and make requests.  They also treasure their personal space.  They expect their parents to understand their inner feelings and hope to be empathized and accepted.
