Imagine a 9-year-old child having to wake up at 3 in the morning, wailing in distress over her math homework. This child, a 4th grader, was so overwhelmed by her inability to solve the math problems that she woke up in the middle of the night, crying uncontrollably. Her father came to console her hearing the sobs. He reassured her that it was okay not to complete the homework if she didn't know the answers, which helped her to return to bed, albeit still uneasy. Despite this, she experienced severe stomach pain at school the next day and had to be taken to the hospital.
