increaseḋ risk taking anḋ self-ḋestructive behaviors. Therefore, a male chilḋ with a high activity level
anḋ living in a stressful environment has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings
anḋ a stable home life is low risk. A boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper
is not a risk factor for injuries. A girl who reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous
serious illnesses has only one risk factor.
