Analyze the main risk factors for accidental injuries in young children, including gender, cognitive capacities, parental behavior, and sociocultural factors

What will be an ideal response?

Boys are more active and parents expect them to explore more, which puts them at greater risk for injuries than girls.
Children have less knowledge of safety issues and even when they know what not to do, because of immature executive functions, they have more trouble resisting doing unsafe things than older children.
Prenatal enforcement of safety rules at home is important, but parents don’t often restate safety rules after age 3.
American Indians and African Americans are more likely to be poor and their children to play in unsafe housing or neighborhoods where they can be injured.
People born in the United States value independence more than immigrants, especially from Latin America and Asia, and more independence means greater exposure to risk of injuries.
