Brief description of the Child:
          To look a Hanah, you will see a healthy and alert girl. She has a confidence that makes her stand out among the others. Tall enough for her age. She has a long black hair with a clear eyes. She is anxiously aware of all around her and with a warm and smiling face, she can be fiend with all the child in the neighborhood.

SECTION B:  Joining Process
  
   Hanah's Family is one of our closest neighborhoods. She is really an energetic person.  She is a picture of a child that seems to have nothing to worry for. But it makes me think that what if behind her smiles is a problem she always thinks of. I heard some of the stories about her and her family. And that’s the reason why I chose her to be my subject in this study.  I think no one will think that they will not going to like this young girl and so her family if ever they will meet them. They are really nice. This is also one of the reasons why I choose her as my subject.
    I expected not to find the thing that makes her sad for some time but to find the thing that gives her strength even though she and her family faces some challenges in their life. As I go further with this case study, I might notice some of problems but I am hoping that with the help of her and her family together with the other people as well, I will understand deeper this case study.
 
SECTION C: Presenting the Problem 
                       
     As I conduct this study, Mrs. Tambirao is the one who presents the problem of Hanah, her child. Well there is no doubt that Hanah is an energetic, lively and jolly person. First the problem that is presented is that Hanah is stubborn and hard-headed. She follows if only she like to follow. It seems that she is hyperactive or maybe she is just an active and lively child. She also always has some quarrels with her sister. But one time, she got sick and she is looking for her father at that time. She also asks her mother when they will go home.     
     According to Mrs. Tambirao, her family is living with their relatives here in Manila but last year, they are living in Negros. Hannah, together with her mother and sister, choose to stay here because of the reason that before, Mrs. Tambirao got sick and they need a good hospital that will treat her. Aside from that, they need a big amount of money to sustain their expenses and bills in the hospital. And so his husband still needs to work to help in their expenses. He left his family here together with their other relatives. With the help of many people and of course the God from up above, Mrs. Tambirao got cured. But Hanah’s father is still staying in the Negros. They decided to stay here even without the only man in their family. 
     Now they are happy living here but they cannot avoid that they need money for their expenses especially now that Hanah and Hazel is studying here so Mr. Tambirao cannot move here to Manila because he needs to work for his family. So she thought that this is the mail reason why her child become stubborn and hard-headed and have some difficulties in dealing with others.

D3: Sociograph



D4-D5-D6: Personality Dynamics

D4: Self -Mastery

     “I’m naughty and stubborn” she said. She admits she is that kind of girl. She love to make friends as many as she can. And by playing, she gained friends. One time, she tells that when she is with Allona, they hate Andrean and when she is with Andrean they hate Allona. She loves to interact with so many children out there. She also said that sometimes she feels timid but it it’s only from the start. When the hours passed by she did not feel that anymore instead she wants to play again. And she also said that sometimes she misses her father so she tends to call her uncle as Papa. In relevance with this, she also misses their lifestyle in Negros and also her cousins, playmates, and all the other people there. But now, she did not feel this often because she loves the way she lives here.

D5: Personality Dynamics Relationship

      Everybody who knows Hannah says that she is energetic and a jolly kid. Her cousins who lived with her say that she is naughty but nice. Even her uncle and auntie say the same way. She is also stubborn, they added. Her mother says that her child is also friendly even a one-year old child became her friend. She noted that every time her playmates will go across to their house, they always ask “Si Hanah  po?”. Her mother also added that she is kind of pedantic person. One time, her mother asked her if she already eat her medicine, and then she answered “Ma, nakakain ba yung gamot? Diba, iniinom yun?” In another incident her mother asked Hanah that her school called, she answers, “Ma, nakakatawag ba yung school?”. The other persons in the house agree with it, her mother added that she and her sister always have a quarrel but it will not last long. Her teacher says that Hanah is intelligent and an active child in their discussions and so her classmates say the same way. Hanah is the youngest in their house so when someone is commanding her and she did not follow, it is alright with them.

D6: Personality Dynamic Actions

     Hanah loves to play with her playmates. She is more often outside of their house rather than staying inside their house but in times that she has an assignment and she have to study, she still do it. Actually, sometimes she can answer her assignments without the help of others. Maybe she really loves to play but still her interest in studies always there. When it comes to household chores, she follows her mother and other adults in their house only if she wants to follow. But because she is the youngest, they were not able to ask some commands to her. She eats only the food that she likes. You cannot force her to do something if she did not like to.
