How does exposure to toxic stressors during childhood affect physical development?
Stress causes kids to grow faster as a survival mechanism.
Toxic stress directly enhances children's physical strength for better adaptability in stressful environments.
Children under constant stress will physically mature sooner to cope with it.
Chronic stress can disrupt the development of neural systems, leading to possible long-term health issues.
