Abstract

Children, like adults, are stressed by factors in today's life-style. The goals of success, achievement, and acquisition are well recognized; these same goals can contribute to the disruption of a child's sense of well-being, resulting in the inability to cope with the environment. Four common causes of stress in children today are child care arrangements, pressure for early academic achievement, athletic achievement, and early sexual activity. Nurse practitioners must be able to recognize the symptoms of stress in children and assist the family to help children modify their life-style and develop problem-solving abilities essential for successful maturity.
