     B.Joining Process

                 The family of the client noticed that Jaybhie, the client , often cry whenever he is being left to the school. His sister, Mary Ann, requested me to conduct a study on how Jaybhie can be able to learn at school without having his mother accompanying him.

    

 C.Presenting the Problem

              The child's sister told me that his brother, Jaybhie, is an attention seeker child.He cries whenever he asks something and never fulfilled. He also cries whenever his mother is leaving him.

      D.Psychosocial History 

     

      D.1 Timeline 

D-2 Genogram

           

  

This genogram is a pictorial display of the client's family relationships. It allows us to visualize hereditary patterns and psychological factors that punctuate child’s relationships. It can be used to identify repetitive patterns of behavior and to recognize hereditary tendencies.

Upon looking to the genogram, there is no problem between the client and his family members.

D-3 Sociogram

            A sociogram is a graphic representation of social links that a child has.

In the sociogram, we can notice that the client gives more attention and get closer to boys but not all the boys like him. Few of his classmates are close to him.Maybe because of the aggression that he often show to school.

D-4 Personality Dynamics

           The client knows his name, the name of his parents and his siblings. He also knows where he lives. He knows how old is he and when he was born. He can also recognize that he is a boy.

D-5 Relationship

          

               According to the client's sister, Jaybhie is close to his mother and brother. He is also close to 5 of his classmates. She also told me that Jaybhie always play with those five and as I asked them about Jaybhie, they told me that Jaybhie is nice to them but sometimes feel shame to play with the girls.

D-6 Action

            The client is capable of drawing different shapes, can sing songs with action, identify his body parts, take a bath on his own, brush his teeth and eat alone. Academically, he can write his name with the guidance of his mother.

E-Theoretical framework

             

F-Prognosis

                       Based on my observations, the client is attention seeker in a way that he cries whenever he is being left by his mother. No one can stop him from crying except from his mother. Her sister told me an instance where Jaybhie hit the water inspector because of not answering his questions.

            G-1- Knowledge

recognize his importance as a human being.

H-Therapeutic Intervention

       

I-Therapeutic Progress

   

J-Therapeutic Result

                  

            Before conducting the case study, the client child was said to be very hyperactive and attention seeker. As we conduct the case study, the parent of the child observed focus and silence in working. He unexpectedly did the activities without asking his parents to watch over him. After the case study, the client child has been able to focus on what he is doing and control his emotions whenever his mother is leaving him. 

K-Summary, Conclusion & Recommendation

       K-1 Summary

        

             The case study revolves with a 5 year-old boy named Jaybhie. He was born on August 11, 2005 and was the youngest among the three children of Ramy and Jesusa Salcedo. He was recommended by his sister because of being attention-seeker. His sister also enumerated some events that may be relevant in studying the client's behavior. The first event that has been stated to me is last 2007. That was the first time that the client has attended the family reunion. And that time, Jaybhie is the center of everybody's attention.Until 2010 came that his youngest cousin was born. Her sister told me that this event has affected the client a lot because the attention that was owned by Jaybhie before has been transfered to the new youngest child. By then, Jaybhie started to seek attention and also caused him to lose interest in learning.

             Because of these, I come up with a theory relating to the child's problem.Because the child is attention seeker, I considered Henry Murray's "Theory of Personality Development". Under this theory, we have the primary needs which refers to biological needs and the secondary needs which is the psychological needs like need for acceptance and belongingness which the client child  is seeking.So I, prefer to consider this as one of the theories that might be relevant to the child's problem.

             In the process of the case study, I developed three (3) objectives. First is to recognize proper usage of different emotions and recognizing importance of human being for knowledge building;confidence on working for skills building and showing respect for others especially to elders for attitude building.

             Each objective is given a day but regarding the full result of the intervention, the client child has recognize uses of emotions  and he was able to recognize his importance as well as the importance of respecting others. As days of intervention pass, the client child has practiced discipline on his self and that he would not need his parents to watch over him as he was working. 

K-2 Conclusion

            After having conducted the case study, I conclude that it is important for a child to appreciate the value of his self as well as the value of others. 

         

K-3 Recommendation

    

           I recommend the parents of the client child to train the child on being on his respectful to others and valuing others as his self.. In that way, the child will be able to be responsible on his own and and appreciate his worth as an individual.


L.Implications

      The case study that I have conducted is very important to a child who is developing relationship to other people. Understanding others would be a great help  on understanding our own selves.

ECED 11

* How are you going to maintain good interaction within your family?
-For me,the secret to maintain good interaction inside the family is love. As the saying goes, "love conquers all". When you love the members of your family, you will be able to respect them, trust them and be able to enjoy and have a good interaction with them. When you love each member of your family, you will be able to understand what they feel. Whatever the circumstances that your family is going through, I think when there is love, sharing, respect and trust in the family, surely interaction within the family is being maintained.

* Is it good to have a pattern of leadership and power manifest in the family? why?
-Yes,but it depends upon the situation. It is good to have pattern of leadership and power manifest in the family if the authority and power is being used bear positive effects. For example, on the way to discipline the children, it is good that there is a disciplinary action ready made. Once the child committed a mistake, he already knew what disciplining method his parent will use.

* What are the problems that your family encountered and how did you overcome those?
-The most common family problem that we have is financial problem. Although my family is categorized as small family, we are still lacking on finances.Knowing that my father is the only one who works for the family, my mother is doing some remedy to supply our daily needs. As the eldest daughter, I bear with this common problem through simply being  contented on what I have.With the help of God, our family is still surpassing this problem.

*How are you going to develop self-esteem of your students?
-I believe that self-esteem is initiated at home. As a teacher, to develop my student's self-esteem is through giving them respect. Respecting the child in every dimensions of his life can develop his self-esteem. Respecting him in a way that he  can feel that I am ready to listen to him as he talk, I am willing to appreciate the good things that he is trying to do and to assess him whenever he fails.

*Are you ready to have family in the near future?
-For me, in speaking about my readiness in building my own family, it involves my emotional, physical, mental, financial and spiritual readiness. For now, I don't think I am ready to have my own family. I am still on the process of preparing for that. But in the future, I think I'll be ready. hehe

*What are you going to do to build good relationship within your children? Are you going to establish rules and regulations around your family?
-Simply respect them. Respect their right as an individual and respect them as your child . When they talk, listen to them. When they ask, answer them in a way that they can feel your support. Make rules and regulations that is applicable to their age. Rules that they can appreciate.
