night after dinner. He also showed the bruises on his back to the educator. This was majorly

house. This was due to domestic violence and family attitude that was taking a toll.

The educator patiently asked Kaleb of his experience and listened to him carefully
which made the child to trust his educator easily. It helped the educator to ascertain what kind
of abuse it is. The educator also asked for few more details like size and location of injury in

Amie, 2017).
