German term or phrase: im ausgehenden Kindesalter
Interventionen zur Prävention der Computerspielsucht sollten unbedingt bereits in der Einstiegsphase einer beginnenden Computerspielkarriere einsetzen, d. h. spätestens *im ausgehenden Kindesalter* vor der Verfestigung von schwer zu durchbrechenden Verhaltensmustern.

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was das ausgehende Kindesalter ist. Ist es das "transitional age between childhood and adolescence"?

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Susan Welsh: I would include "to early teens" as part of the translation, since to me "late childhood" is a bit vague, and in the eyes of the beholder (some would consider an 18-yr-old a "child").

agree  Armorel Young: that's right, although I still can't quite work out what they want to say - don't children start playing computer games in pretty early childhood these days?
