Causes of stress in preschoolers
Separation from parents. Young children, when first introduced to kindergarten, often experience anxiety and stress due to fear of being separated from their parents. When a child has to explore the social environment without the support that he is used to, it can generate fear and anxiety.
Social pressure. It is usually experienced by older children, but it is sometimes difficult for preschoolers to adjust to a new environment (for example, in kindergarten). They become shy and withdrawn.
Home environment. The home environment greatly influences a child's behavior and habits. Children who witness frequent family conflicts, parental divorces, or the death of a loved one often feel stressed.
Other factors. Stress in preschoolers can be caused by upsetting news, illness, financial problems in the family, lack of parental support, etc.

Research also shows that stress in preschool-age children may be due to the fact that their parents, especially the mother, also experience chronic stress.
