Instead, she gives him three quick swats on the bottom and explains that if he does not stop then he will sit in time out when he gets home.

A greater number of young children with complicated, serious physical health, mental health, or developmental problems are entering foster care during the early years when brain growth is most active. Data shows that in 2003, children aged birth to 3 had the highest rates of victimization, at 16.4 per 1,000 children of the same age group, and 78.7 percent of the estimated 1,500 children who died as a result of child abuse or neglect were younger than 4 years of age (Goode & Shaw, 2005).
