Neglected infants and toddlers have poor muscle tone, poor motor control, exhibit delays in gross and fine motor development and coordination, fail to develop and perfect basic motor skills.
Abused infants often exhibit a state of "frozen watchfulness," that is, remaining passive and immobile, but intently observant of the environment. This appear to be a protective strategy in response to a fear of attack. Her fear may not necessarily be in response to her parents actions directly. she could be afraid of the dogs.
