Step 2: Identify the common categories of child maltreatment. These usually include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect (which can be physical or emotional).
Step 3: Review each option given in the problem: Sexual abuse, Physical abuse, Consistent positive reinforcement, and Emotional neglect. Determine which of these fit the definition of maltreatment.
