Your son won’t technically be a teenager for another year, but 12 is when the big transitions begin. That's why kids this age are called preteens or tweens . Their world is getting bigger on every level: physical, mental, emotional and social. Buckle up, things may get bumpy. Thanks to puberty, they're paying more attention to their body. They're more focused on how they look and what they're wearing. They may express an interest in joining a gym or start exercising in their room. Why is a man’s voice coming out of your baby’s mouth? Because their voice is deepening. They’ll also start growing facial and pubic hair . At 12, puberty could be in full swing. For some, it starts earlier. For others, it’s a bit later. It's a time for deodorant, growth spurts and emerging sexual awareness. Everyone is different, so don’t be worried if your son is more or less mature at this age or taller or shorter than his peers. They're also concerned about what other kids think of them. This may change the way they act and expresses affection toward you, especially in front of their friends. Their emotions seesaw. They often goes from happy to sad, kind to rude, feeling smart to feeling short on confidence. They may also feel more stress because schoolwork is getting challenging. That’s because their brain is able to handle more complex thinking now. This goes hand in hand with their expanding vocabulary. They're better at putting what they're feeling into words, which you might see as a blessing and a curse. They're questioning their family’s values and seeing the line between right and wrong through new eyes. This can be a confusing age for both of you, because they've starting to look and act more like an adult, but they don't have the same life experience and decision-making skills. Sometimes you may both need a reminder that they're still a 12-year-old kid. Their social life is more important to them. This is when peer pressure starts to sneak in. At 12, it's important to them to belong, which means more independence from you and more dependence on their friends. Monitor their media use closely: Many boys play online video games, so review privacy settings and ensure personal information is not shared with other gamers. You should set limits on the amount of their daily media usage.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A new study confirms a suspicion many women have harbored for generations: men mature slower than women. The study commissioned by Nickelodeon UK found men don't reach maturity until 43, while women typically mature around age 32.

New Yorkers seemed to agree with the findings.

A Spring Valley, N.Y. woman said her husband still has some growing up to do at 49 years old. Study: Men Mature Slower Than Women Your browser does not support the audio element. "The poop jokes, the playing with the kids, the cartoons, still laughing at 'Beavis and Butt-Head,'" she said. Ken Salvatore, 19, said he's looking forward to a long life of immaturity.

"I plan on goofing around a lot, for sure," Salvatore said.

Rich Lobiwicki told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck that he still hasn't matured at age 61. "I might as well enjoy what I got left, there's no point in being mature it seems like you got more responsibility," Lobiwicki said. An 81-year-old Rockland County man said he believes he hit maturity at 75. According to the study, women were twice as likely to feel like the "adult" in the relationship and a quarter of women said they make the important decisions in the relationship. However, 40 percent of people thought immaturity could help keep a relationship fresh and fun.
