Abstract
A sample of 1,146 children ranging in age from 5-13 years was assessed for stressful life events across the lifespan. Children reported experiencing, on average, seven events during their lifetimes. Boys reported more such events than girls. The impact of multiple life events on children’s adjustment is discussed in the paper.
