I didn't find that to be true. It might depend somewhat on the individual children. Your individual stress level is largely under your own control.

Physical Health, mental health, the economy, social disorder, family; we can influence these things that cause stress but often we can't "control" them.

You can't necessarily control external events. But you can, to a significant degree, control the effect those things have on your chronic stress levels. This requires cultivating a certain level of maturity and mental discipline.
