Rationale:
1. Children manifest stress in a variety of ways, including regressive behavior, interrupted sleep, hyperactive behavior, gastrointestinal symptoms, crying, and withdrawal from normal events.
2. Drug abuse is more likely to occur in an adolescent, not a child.
3. The beahviors described in the stem are not normal behaviors for a child. Such behaviors need to be investigated.
4. Mental abuse could be a reason for stress, but this answer is limiting when compared to the correct option.
