Children are more likely to develop emotional and behavioural disorders if they experience stressful events
Stress can trigger emotional disorders in children
A report commissioned by the Department of Health and the Scottish Government has found that children are more likely to develop emotional and behavioural disorders if they experience stressful events such as bereavement, divorce or serious illness.

But children who went to clubs or groups outside school were less likely to develop disorders.
