Special Issue on Stress in Children

Childhood stress can be caused by any situation that requires the child to adapt or change. Children learn how to respond to stress by what they have seen and experienced in the past. Most stresses experienced by children may seem insignificant to adults. But because children have few previous experiences from which to learn, even situations that require small changes can have an enormous impact on a child's feelings of safety and security.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring stress in children. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Signs of unresolved stress in children
• Parental stress and stress in their family
• Bullying and academic stress
• How parents can help
• The healthy coping strategies children can do to relieve stress
• Children's psychological health and well-being

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the re-search field “Special Issue – Stress in Children” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
