My interest in infants and toddlers and the years I spent working with the my communities domestic violence program for children lead me to look into more information on abuse and neglect at the Zero to Three website .  I was astounded to find out that of all the child maltreatment fatalities that happen ¾ of them happen to children in the infant and toddler years.    This reminded me of how important it is to not just support the child at this stage in their lives but the families as well.  The frustration and exhaustion that often accompanies infancy and toddlerhood can lead to moments of anger resulting in permanent damage.  This web site had a number of articles, resource links to help fight against this problem.  There was information on how to reduce the risk of abuse and neglect, information on policy and links to community partners who address this issue as well.  I found it to be a great resource to keep tucked away in case I come across a family who could use this kind of support.
