I could not do it if I tried.
But parents have often claimed that children can decide to vommit. How?

I sumised that it is emotionally driven, because when emotional stress effects you it can make a person vommit (probably because of the epinephrine excess).

Do they cough, or does there brain not work the same as an adults or how?

Scientifically explain this to me?

The brain has a "vomiting center" and there are many factors that could affect such center that would result to vomiting. Psychological reason is oe of those factors. Self-induced vomiting is Psychogenic in nature.Psychogenic vomiting in children can be self-induced or occur involuntarily in stressful or unpleasant situations. Psychologic factors leading to vomiting can be culturally determined (eg, eating food considered repulsive). Vomiting can express hostility, as when a child vomits during a temper tantrum, or be a symptom of a conversion disorder. The brain of a child would wok just the same as of adults.

Oh yeah, they're great at it.

Stress will cause vomiting. The stomach just lightens the load as digestion take a lot of blood away from the brain and muscles.

I think children just down have the calm down self control of adults. They tend to get in to a cycle.

They probably start with dry heaving first, then the rest follows.
