Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to research, children in middle childhood are more likely to experience temporary or fleeting feelings of sadness or unhappiness due to specific events or circumstances such as getting scolded by a parent, a fight with a friend, or a bad day at school. They are less likely to experience serious difficulties with depression or hormonal changes compared to adolescence. An unresolved conflict with a sibling may also contribute to sadness, but it is not a primary cause for unhappiness in middle childhood.
