Many feel that children live relaxed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stress free lives. This isn't always the case.
From the time we begin dealing with stress. Some babies are born very sensitive. They can have physical triggers such as feeling uncomfortable if clothing tags or diapers rub against them, or get fussy when handled by too many caregivers often become overstimulated. These type of children will pick up on stress around them.
Another factor to consider is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the stress age and developmentally appropriate?
Young school age children may become stressed just learning how the routine of school works, they may wet themselves if they aren't chosen for activities, they may be teased by bullies, or just not understanding what a teacher wants them to do.
Why does a six-year-old become stressed when their parent loses a job? Why does an eight-year-old suddenly become queasy and ill when its time to go to Little League?
We as parents need to be open and consider why certain behaviour are happening in our children. We need to learn how do you distinguish the difference between stress and a temper tantrums. Is the stomach ache your child is complaining of the result of too many treats, or is it the math test they have tomorrow?
A clinging two-year-old and a nine-year-old who refuses to get out of the car are much different from one another. When you try to drop your nine-year-old off at school and they refuse to get out, do they say things like "I'm not getting out and you can't making me," then its time to sit up and take notice that there may be more going on here than just not wanting to go to school. Is there something at school that is making them so uncomfortable, and so unhappy they no longer want to be there, then it is definitely something that needs to be investigated more closely.
The degree of intensity is also important. If the behaviour is disruptive to the family and is become a major stumbling block to the growth or happiness of the family members then it is time to intervene.

Over the years I have had a chance to work with families and have had the opportunity to learn about what frightens children, what causes anxiety in children which in some cases can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.)
Sometimes these children feel like they aren't understanding what everyone else is and that can be a huge stressor for them. They d
Recognizing Stress In Children:

From the time we are born until the time we leave this earth we all have stress.
Recognizing when a child is under stress, and helping them learn to work through it is a life skill that every adult who spends time with children needs.

Toddlers often become stressed due to separation anxiety. Beginning daycare can be a very stressful situation for a two year old. They may become anxious for a number of reasons: they don't know what they are going to find there; how they are going to get around; what they are going to do. They don't know what the expectations are and consequently they don't go willingly. This can be coupled with a fear of being abandoned. A toddler being dropped off in a new place for the first time may be thinking, when will my Mom or Dad be back. They don't know that you will come back for sure. And since a two year old doesn't have any real sense of time [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they can't understand if "later" is a few minutes from now, or a few days.
Duration is key factor in telling the difference between stress, and normal childhood growing pains or illnesses. Does your child start to feel sick when the bus is coming? Is this a one time event? Then perhaps some calm discussion and reassurance may be all the child needs. Has this behaviour been ongoing? If it is then its time to start paying attention, the behaviour may be something which requires intervention by a professional.
Stress doesn't always happen to a child directly they can be witness to a traumatic event which impacts them as though the trauma is happening directly to them.
