Risks
• parents/caretaker  will not understand normal
behavior
– increased physicality, temper tantrums, decreased
appetite, definitive likes and dislikes, dawdling,
ritualistic, ‘me do it’
• safety needs - very prone to accidents
– not only falls/auto accidents but also poisoning
• ‘forced’ cognitive development
– can create an environment where children can learn but
can’t ‘make’ them learn
