The index finger was inserted most frequently with the joint inserted (12 occurrences) and the finger inserted past the joint (8 occurrences) and inserted with force (4 occurrences). The thumb joint was inserted on 8 occurrences, the middle finger 5, third finger 4 and little finger 2. For each finger the most observed occurrences involved the joint being inserted. For accidental insertions of the thumb the tip only was inserted for 63% of insertions (5), for the index finger 50% (2), the middle finger 50% (1), the third finger 57% (4) and for the little finger 67% (2). This suggests where the insertions were intentional the children were more likely to insert the fingers further and where the insertion is accidental the finger is not inserted so far. In fact we can see from table 30 that for accidental insertions only the thumb was inserted past the joint on one occasion. 35
