Stress affects adults, children differently

From Aeon: "Emotional stress in adult life affects us on a physical level in quantifiable, life-altering ways. We all know that when we are stressed, chemicals and hormones can flush our body and increase levels of inflammation. That's why stressful events in adult life are correlated with the likelihood of getting a cold or having a heart attack. But when children or teens face adversity and especially unpredictable stressors, they are left with deeper, longer‑lasting scars."
