  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2002/0215/p625.html

  Headaches are common during childhood and become more common and increase in frequency during adolescence. […] An epidemiologic survey of 9,000 school children found that one third of the children who were at least seven years of age and one half of those who were at least 15 years of age had headaches. Frequent headache was reported in 2.5 percent of children who were at least seven years of age and 15 percent of those who were at least 15 years of age. The prevalence of headache ranged from 37 to 51 percent in those who were at least seven years of age and gradually rose to 57 to 82 percent by age 15. […] Before puberty, boys are affected more frequently than girls, but after the onset of puberty, headaches occur more frequently in girls. […] The medical evaluation of a child or adolescent presenting with headache requires a thorough history followed by a complete physical and neurologic examination.

  A headache is pain or discomfort in one or more areas of the head or face. Headaches are often divided into two groups, based on what causes them: […] Primary headaches are not linked to another health condition. They are often caused by tight muscles, widened (dilated) blood vessels, changes in nerve signals, or swelling (inflammation) in parts of the brain. […] Secondary headaches are the least common type of headaches. They are caused by a problem in the brain, or another health condition or disease. […] Researchers dont fully understand the exact cause of headaches. Many headaches may be caused by tight muscles and widened (dilated) blood vessels in the head. Stress and mental or emotional conflict can set off tension headaches. Migraine headaches may be caused by changes in brain chemicals or nerve signals. […] Other headaches may be caused by a change in pain signals from nerves in the head, face, and neck. Lack of sleep and poor sleep quality are often the cause of chronic headaches. In rarer cases, headaches may be caused by a problem in the brain, such as a tumor.

[…] Until recently, researchers thought changes in blood flow in the brain caused migraines. Most now believe this can contribute to the pain but it isn’t what starts it. Today, scientists believe migraines are a brain malfunction a disorder that mainly affects the brain and nerves, but also affects blood vessels. A release of certain chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain such as serotonin causes this malfunction, which leads to the inflammation and pain of the migraine.

  Diet. Does your child eat regular meals? Skipping one meal, like breakfast, can trigger a headache. It’s also important to make sure that your child is eating a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Withdrawal from too much caffeine can cause a headache as well. […] Sleep. Adequate and regular sleep are important factors to help prevent headaches. Kids ages 6–12 years old should regularly sleep 9–12 hours a night, while teens 13–18 years old should get 8–10 hours of sleep. When sleep is reduced or irregular (staying up late on the weekends, waking up early for school), it can often result in headaches. Even if a child gets enough sleep but has variable sleep, it can trigger headaches through a jet lag effect of changing sleep patterns. Schools with early start time can aggravate this further.
