maybe genes,

They got those from the parents, for a start.

friendship difficulties, bullying, problems at school,
wider family issues, bereavement, emotional difficulties of various
kinds, frustrations of life, physical health issues, mental health
issues, etc etc

All of which they can grow up to cope with or have parents who they
know they can turn to. It really is mostly down to parenting, but at a
*much* earlier age.
