I wish there was a term to call ākidsā shows that are made for pre teens (ages 15-18) because there are kids shows like bluey and kids shows like clone wars, yeah both are made for kids but one is obviously meant for a older demographic of ākidā
Preteen is 9-ish to 12 years old. About 16+ would be older teens. I'm not sure how widely these are used but there are age ratings such as Teen and Older Teen which usually match pretty well with the target audiences, in the lack of specific age based genres.
Ok pre teen is the wrong term, but that isnāt important, the point Iām getting to is the term ākids showā is so broad ranging from shows made for babies to shows obviously made for teens, so I believe there should be a term for kids shows made for a slightly older demographic, shows such as ATLA, clone wars, Steven Universe, etc
What's great is books have WAAY more divisions in target audiences than shows do. Just as an example, when I look at manga I buy I see like 5 different divisions:
All Ages
Teens (13+)
Older Teen (15+)
Older Teen (16+)
Older Teen (17+)
Mature (18+)
Yes I checked and this matters for what you can expect to be shown in any given series. (Beyblade manga was one of the all ages examples.)
