TWEENS

WHY TWEENS

Tweens already know what they want. We asked them.

Ask an 8-12-year-old what they want and they have an answer. They know their favorite toy, their favorite athlete, and the hobby they want to share with friends. Do you know?

YPulse surveys 1,500 of them every quarter and publishes eight topic-dedicated reports across annually.

65%

59%

83%

TWEENS COVERAGE

The topics that shape what tweens want, age by age

Tweens covers TV and streaming, social media and influencers, tech and devices, gaming, shopping and retail, fashion and style, sports and athletes, and hobbies and play. While many research firms rely on parents for answers about youth, we go directly to the source. We interview over 6,000 tweens annually so you can get the real answers.

Tweens reports are published eight times a year, with full data and insights accessible through YPulse AI

Every result can broken out by single year of age, 8 through 12, because a 9-year-old and a 12-year-old are different customers. Pick an age. See how each topic shifts.

Tweens ask. Parents decide. We ask both.

Tweens answer for themselves in every Tweens survey. You also hear from the parents, through Parent POV pages built from YPulse’s ongoing surveys of 13-39-year-olds, so you can see where a tween and a parent agree and where they don’t.
