10, 11, and 12 are special years in a person's life. We aren't children, but we aren't teens either. A lot of questioning comes at this age. Also, although you may have been the tallest in your class in sixth grade, you suddenly realize your not tall at all. My first serious crush called me bean-pole. BEAN POLE. I admit I did tower over him that year. But he was really really short, too. LOL Today, I'm all of 5'3 1/2". That's it, folks. Not exactly tall. I think were they to add this life-stage, it would bring back the 'shorter' kids for an easier transition to those tall strangers in our Sims' homes. I know my sons shot up. Before I knew it I was looking up at them.
See, here in England, 10, 11 and 12 year olds are children. To us, children become teens when they hit their teen years (thirTEEN), hence the term. There is no 'pre', it's just 'child' or 'teenager'.
I'm not opposed to the idea of this life stage, I really just don't see the point of it, and how long will it last? 3 sim days? I'd rather just have better, fleshed out teens that *look* and act the part.

Not everyone plays with aging on so for me "3 Sim days" would not be the same as it is for you as I have not aged a single Sim since release except 3 babies. So preteen would be a permanent life stage changing my family dynamics greatly. Why do we have to settle for fleshed out teens or preteens why do we have to limit ourselves when we could make everyone happy.
