A four-year-old girl in your child care often complains that she is hungry, saying that she does not eat at her house. She frequently asks you for extra food to take home for later. You also notice that her clothing is often inappropriate for the weather and she appears dirty and unkempt. She does not play with the other children, and rarely laughs or smiles. You have tried to speak with her mother about your concerns, but she is usually in a hurry and seems to resent your intrusion.
