Most adults perceive children as happy and carefree. True, but one must not forget that children also suffer from stress. A change in their daily activity could prove to be stressful, to some degree.

Mamatude's 11-year old son is exhibiting signs of being stressed.
"In the past, his school behavior has always taken a sharp downturn around the end of November or beginning of December, whenever they start practicing in earnest for the dreaded holiday program. It's been my theory that the rehearsals, with their disruptions of routine, extended exposure to mainstream classmates, and expectations to stand or sit quietly, are major stressors for him, and leave him with fewer resources for self-control and restraint through the rest of the day."


And I am sure that he is not the only child who is stressed.
