Abstract

Stress and negative emotions connected with it evoke specific physiological and behavioural-cognitive reactions in individuals, which affect their functioning in various areas of life. The author studied and analyzed these reactions with respect to children of younger school age - third graders of primary school, their mothers and teachers. The analysis presented in the article is integrated into the context of family, school and peer environment of the children in question.

Keywords:
