The anxious children who are too stressed to learn

Article Abstract:

There is growing awareness in the UK of the problem of primary-age children who underperform at school because of conflict at home. Children exposed to conflict at home frequently become anxious, and this impairs their ability to learn. In many cases, they also behave disruptively at school. Children who have lost faith in significant adults in their lives are more likely to be unwilling to trust teachers, and many feel that they do not have control over their lives.
