Abstract:
Social and political changes have introduced new sources of stressors for children.
Stressors that emerged in 2010 included too many things to do and frequently being told “Do

children's perspectives on stressors and invite speculation on the reasons why new stressors
emerge over the years. The article also presents a list of stressors that were identified through
factor analysis; witch captures the full range of stressors that children experience today.
