Case study of Hanah, 5years old (part 3 - Sections I, J, K and L)

Section I : Therapeutic Progress

Section J : Therapeutic Results

     To develop the communication skills of the child not only to her peers but also to the adults is the aim of the activities that is being presented to the child as well as to the develop the ways of thinking of the child in terms of how the family works on. so as the study goes deeper, the progress can be seen little by little. The child relationship to the other peers is better than before. Their quarrel is less and their misunderstanding is seldom. In the aspect of her family, I think she realizes what she should be as a part of the family. As I ask her relatives where they are living now, They say that she is less stubborn than before. She follows the task as what the others is asked. And when it comes to her father, she i always reminded of what her father wants to be. She thought how important of the others to her. I also notice that she build a good relationship with her sister as we go through some of the activities.
     If this will be continued, The child may built a good relationship among others as well as she will develop her personality as she grew up. With the help of the other members of the family , this will be possible to happen.

 Section K : Summary Conclusion

Summary: The 5 year old child named Hanah, is living with her mother and sister but not with their father as of now. They are living in the house of their relatives while her father is in their province to seek for some job. the presented problem is about on how she will deal with the others. She is not neglected by others but she feel some difficulties in dealing with them. Not in her peers with her same age or even younger than her, but into the adults that she's living together. As a result, she become stubborn and hard headed. Yet they can still control them. Her mother points out that she thinks the main reason behind her problem is that they are not living together with their father. A the study goes on, I made up to the developmental theory of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development and Sigmund Freud's personality development, the id. I develop some of the activities that may help to encounter  some of her problems that I don't think she is aware of. As we go through the activity, I find it hard to initiate the activity to her, although some of the activities caught her interest. Even though she shows a few of her interest in some activities,. still she accomplish it.

Conclusion: I therefore conclude that my client's child maybe shows some mistaken behavior because of what her mother points out to be the cause of the problem. As children seeks attention, usually they cannot distinguish whom the persons that gives attention to them including the reason that she is searching for the care and guidance of her father. There are some tendencies somehow that the care that the other lay to their children is misinterpreted with the young ones and makes them think that they are restricted. So in this case , I also conclude that adult should explain clearly to the child what they need to know for a better understanding.

Recommendation: I recommend that it is better if the child will have writing journal so that she can write the things that she feels or the things that happen to her everyday. Even though writing is a difficult one, the important thing here is that she knows how to write. At least whenever she doesn't feel to say what she feels, she can write it with her journal. Even the simplest sentence or even word will do. As long as there is something that she can tell of. I suggest that it is better if she will be guided by some adults in doing it.


Section L : Implications to Education to Assessment of Young Children


     Education plays a vital role in each individual. To impart the knowledge to the young ones and help them develop their skills and abilities in many aspects is the primary goal of the teacher. As a teacher, a catalyst, a facilitator and an educator, assessing young children is one of our responsibility. As we assess, we learn things about the child's behavior and how they deal with their environment. As far as we can observe this young ones, the more that we become an effective teacher. Because we can easily deal with how the child behaves therefore, we can go beyond their learning.
     In relevance with this case study , we can use this as a basis in the teaching and learning styles to a better development of skills and knowledge of p. We all know that case study is based on an in-depth investigation of a single individual in connection with the behavior of its subject. In using case study in teaching, we can provide opportunities for the development of key skills of the students in terms of communication and problem solving allowing the active learning together with the application of theoretical concepts that connects the gap between theory and practices. Most of all, it can increase child's interest and enjoyment to the topic and hence their desire to learn. In Bonwell and Eison 1991; Sivan et al, 2001, it is documented that students can learn more effectively when actively involved in learning process and case study approach is one way to have active learning strategies.
