Ten- to 12-year-olds are entering the pre-teen phase. They have
values already defined, but also more access to the outside world, which means that his space has expanded and that his desire to belong is growing. For this reason, the children are more susceptible to the influences of the collectives with which they are related, which is why the may favour less responsible consumption behaviours that are more influenced by friends or the media. 

At this age, they can already have a clearer idea of the months and years to come, which contributes to the exercise of the act of dreaming about its future and about the world. They also present in a more obvious way protective instincts (with younger children or small animals) and altruism, which stimulates their noblest ideals.

They have already assumed the management of their belongings and their resources, such as money or time. As a result, they are prepared to be encouraged to engage in more complex activities. to give them a broader perspective of those and to allow them to go beyond their domains and understand that they can play a role as citizens in preserving the rights and resources that belong to all of us.

In this phase, education on economics must reinforce the protagonism of the student so that dream and fulfill your aspirations without losing sight of the impact of your decisions on the good. in the present and in the future.
