Throughout life, both children and adults experience varying amounts of stress in their everyday lives. For the most part, this has been proven to be healthy and crucial in strengthening their response to such stimuli later in life. This paper will focus on the findings of various studies in which researchers have found links between stress exposure and childhood development. Specifically, this paper will focus on the effects of what is known as toxic stress and its effects on the development of a child and its role in the development of mental disorders as the child transitions into adulthood.

The nail technician’s hands touch your feet and as you look around you see unmarked bottles of beauty products; not thinking much of any of it. After about 20 minutes while you have your nice manicure done, your feet start to feel tingly and as if they’re burning.

As previously mentioned, there is no absolute cause for why TTM comes about in patients. Often it seems to start around the ages of twelve and thirteen, however it is not uncommon for it to start earlier or later.

This study is intended to document my observation of a child between the ages of 2-5. The small child I observed is a 4 years old male.
