Young children are considered high risk for unintentional or accidental injury. Children often do not possess the appropriate motor skills for a task; they also lack the ability to recognize dangers that would be obvious to an adult. Many children cannot appropriately judge speed, time, or distance, putting themselves at additional injury risk. Young children also do not possess the same problem solving skills as older children or adults, making it difficult for them to foresee consequences.
