AbstractObjectives: Understanding the nature and types of stressful events in life of school age children. Method: In this qualitative study, using an open interview, the description of stressful life events by 29 schoolchildren in Tabriz, Iran, were recorded and analyzed. Results: 223 stressful events derived from the interviews, were classified into 17 basic categories. In the end, four themes were assumed for these categories: 1- non-supplied demands, 2- loss, 3- threatening events, 4- stimulating events.
