11åring

An 11-year-old, written in Swedish as 11-åring, is a person who is eleven years old. The term is used in Sweden and other Swedish-speaking contexts to describe a child in late childhood. Eleven-year-olds are usually in the later years of primary school and approaching adolescence. School systems and calendars determine the exact grade, but the age corresponds to the period between roughly 5th and 6th grade in many countries.

Cognitive development: By age 11 many children show improved memory, reading comprehension, and problem-solving. They often think more logically about concrete topics and begin to enjoy longer-term planning, though abstract reasoning may still be developing. Language skills, including writing and discussion, become more nuanced.

Social and emotional development: Peer relationships become increasingly important. Self-esteem depends on feedback from friends, family, and teachers. Eleven-year-olds seek more independence but still need support and clear boundaries. They may experience a wider range of emotions and respond to school routines, sports, and hobbies with renewed enthusiasm or stress.

Daily life and safety: In daily life, 11-year-olds balance school with family obligations and activities. They often use digital media for communication and entertainment, so guidance on online safety, screen time, and healthy routines remains important. Sleep recommendations generally fall around 9 to 11 hours per night.
