يَتَنَقَّلُ — who moves. A present-tense verb on a reflexive pattern meaning 'moves about / shifts from place to place', with its 'he' subject built in. Following an indefinite noun, this verb works as a description of that child, 'a child who moves', so the present tense paints his ongoing changing.
