Mom Ashley Embers explains why girls are skipping the tween phase, going straight from child to teenager.

The trend is caused by changes in media, marketing, smartphone use, and how young girls socialize.

Tweens abandoned by retail because they don't have designated stores for them anymore, Embers says.

Children's brains aren’t developed enough to process violent or sexual content at a younger age.

This causes them to lose the innocence of childhood and become worried about politics, natural disasters, inequality, and violent crime.

Schools and parents are beginning to crack down on smartphone use among tweens and teens.
