The findings revealed that children were mostly stressed by the school curriculum, long hours of educational activities and home environment. However, school climate contribute to children stress to a low degree. It was therefore recommended amongst others that Government and school operators should reorganize the school curriculum for the children so as to promote flexible and play based curriculum.
