Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Seems like a very good answer. Question was for stress signs and this answer responds with a list of common changes in children due to stress.
This gives a good list of warning signs.  I would like a more specific point at which help should be sought, however.  This tells how to see the warning signs, but not how to act on them.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer just encourages you to talk to your children and how they respond but doesn't list out anything that would indicate the child is stressed which is what the question is asking about
This offers help for how to talk to children about the pandemic.  It doesn't really address the question of when to seek help, however.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer seems like it's more about the treatment of stress when the question was asking for what are the signs of stress. This doesn't really list anything about that
This has some good resources and advice being offered.  It also touches on post-partum depression, which is unrelated to the question, but mainly focuses on children.  It doesn't specifically address the question of when to seek help.
