B. JOINING PROCESS
The client child is referred by one of the members of the family. The parents of him are both working for the satisfaction of their basic needs. The mother (Esideria) is a laundrywoman in the neighborhood while Mr.Romy works as a laborer. They explained that even they are both working, still they find hard time to meet at least the very basic among the needs- the food. Their jobs are not stable which according to them, their way of living is “Isang kahig, Isang tuka” which means that they can only eat if they can earn money. Two of the client’s sisters already have their own families yet still living in the same house. The eldest have 3 children while the sibling next to her is bnow 2 mos. Pregnant to her first child.
C. PRESENTING PROBLEM
Mrs. Tunay admits that they are having hard times to mange their son Nonoy.
Nonoy according to them is “Napakakulit, mahilig manakit at papansin”. While in the house, Nonoy keeps on roaming around and do things naughtily. His mother tells one incident which confirms that Nonoy is really alarming. Ningning, Nonoy’s sister was playing with another playmate. In the middle o the game,he got closer and told them Sali ako, Sali ako!!! The two did not allow hgim instead they turned their backs and continue playing. This made him angry that led him to grab a stick and prick their backs. They were shouting Tama na, Tama na!!! but he didn’t listen. He pricked the two for the last time and ran away from them saying “Tado Tayo, Tado tayo!!!! His mother got mad and gave him a hit at his butt using a stick He cried a lot and said that he did it because he was not entertained. She kept on hitting that made him cry louder. Mother stopped when Nonoy said Tama na Mama, Tama na po!!! As I continue the interview with the community where he belongs, people told me that Nonoy keeps on teasing his playmates and everytime the p arents confront and ask him what happened, he just puts the blame to other child and keep on saying “Hindi po ato yun nadlalayo lang po ato dito eh, siya po yun noh!!” And according to them, Nonoy has been a bully in their place. He laughs at others or hurts them. Since his parents are both working , they think that this is the reason why he is like that because he is not supervised by them. He seeks attention from the family but some of them ignore him except for his mother. They said that they are used to it and so they don’t mind him.
D. PSYCHOSOCIAL HISTORY
D.1. TIMELINE
In this timeline, it shows that there are several events which occurred from 2007 up to the present. On the 15th day of February 2007, my client child, Nonoy was born. One year after, his grandmother died of a cancer which was very unforgettable to the whole family. In the year 2008, his eldest, a 22 year old got pregnant to her second child named Oliver. Year 2009 was also a remarkable year for them because she got pregnant to the third child but unfortunately the child died due to prematurity. In the present, his elder sister, Shirley is pregnant to her first child and wilkl be giving birth on the month of October.
D.2 GENOGRAM
Mrs. Esideria is a daughter of Mr. Lauro and King Espinola while her husband Romy is a son of Mr. Tonyo and Aurora Tunay. The client’s parents are both eldest child in their family. Mrs. Esideria has been helping her husband to work for the family since then. She has to wash the laundry in the neighborhood at least four times a week in order to earn 350 pesos a day. She leaves the house at 8:00 in the morning and goes home at 5 or up in the afternoon. On the other side, Mr. Romy works as a laborer but doesn’t have permanent jobs. Sheryl the eldest among other siblings has 3 children and a husband who is a baker in one of their bakery businesses. The same as her ate, Shirley the second child has her family at the age of 19 but her husband has no permanent job too.
Rolly and Roselle, high school students admit that they go to school often because they find it lazy to go and they are also unable to pass the school requirements due to lack of financial support. Ningning, the child before Nonoy goes to school as preschool student.
hild before Nonoy goes to school as preschool student.
D.3. SOCIOGRAM
3.1. Family Sociogram
The data shows that Nonoy likes his mother, sisters Sheryl and Shirley while the graph shows that the broken lines are connected to his Father, Kuya Rolly, Roselle and Julie Ann. The brokenlines going to Nonoy tells that they are not close with Nonoy that much.
In the family Sociogram, Nonoy:
Likes: Dislikes:
Mother Rolly Sheryl Rosell Shirley Julie Ann
3.2. Sociogram of Peers
This graph shows that Nonoy has playmates; 3 boys and 3 girls. He likes to play with King, Pepay, Nicole and Joan. However, he dislikes Jr. because he doesn’t like him either. Though Nonoy likes toplay with girls, some of them don’t like to play with him because he is aggressive. King and Nonoy get the mutual choice. The one way choice included Nonoy the client and peers like Pepay, Nicole, King and Joan.
D.4. SELF-MASTERY
The self mastery of my client is shown several times. When he was asked what his name is, he said “John Robert E. Tunay (John Robert E. Tunay). When his mother asked him what her work is, he said “Nadyayaba” (Naglalaba) then he answered again “Papa to nadpupukpok” (Carpenter) .
I asked the child where he lives and said “Ta Mt. Heights po”. He also said “Biyong at Bo” when his mother asked him “ano pangalan ng anak ni Ate Sheryl?”
D.5. RELATIONSHIP QUALITY
His mother tells that whenever she goes home from work, she always gives Nonoy something as a pasalubong because this is what he always asks for. She said that when she comes home, she looks for Nonoy and gives him hugs, kisses and asks what he did in the whole day. This makes them closer to each other than his father she said. This is because his father gets drunk almost everyday and so he has to take a sleep whenever he arrives without asking anything about them. The family, particularly the mother just ignores him so as not to have any quarrel.
D.6.PERSONALITY DYNAMICS (Actions)
As what being documented, Nonoy’s parents are both working for the family. Only his brother Rolly and sisters Roselle and Ningning are left in their house so they are the ones taking in charge for themselves and others. Because of this, they are already used to doing things on their own. Nonoy according to her sister knows how to get his food from the table whenever he is hungry and puts it in the basin afterwards. He also takes a bath with his playmates or alone. After it, he knows how to puts on his clothes and/ or takes it off.
E. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Based on the framework, Nonoy’s personality is influenced by two factors; the Home and the Environment. In their home, the family is said to be unstructured because his father drinks almost everyday which caused to have less family time. His sisters have families while the remaining siblings often attend school. This is due to lack of financial assistance to meet the school requirements.
The second factor contributing to Nonoy’s behavior is the environment where he is used to. It is described to be cruel to him, arrogant and antisocial. These characteristics add up to the behaviors manifested by the client child.
In connection to the framework designed, Nonoy’s aggression falls under the concept of Manic-Depressive Psychosis where it is characterized by extremes of mood. In the manic state, the person may be extremely active, elated and or aggressive; I the depressed state, the person may feel melancholy, worthless an guilty. Another is the concept of “Psychosocial Motives”, specific to “Dependency and Social Approval”. Nonoy needs to depend on others, to have someone to look up to or to accepted and loved. Social approval, another common motive is to seek approval for what we do but Nonoy fails to this. Lastly is the concept of “Compromise Reactions” particularly the “Projection Reaction” which is a common disguise that protects a person against anxiety producing impulses. When one finds their feelings and thoughts intolerable, they not only repress them but also convince themselves that other people have these thoughts towards them. To sum up the framework, it only falls under one theory and that is the “Socio-Cultural Theory” of Lev Vygotsky. It states that mental faculties are acquired through social relationship, learning takes place when child interacts with peers and adults in a social setting as they act upon the environment.
F. PROGNOSIS
Based from sections A to D, I could say that the reasons why there is a manifestation of aggression, bully and impulsive behavior to the client child is because there is no quality time in the family. Parents are both working while others have family already so they are not able to look up to the client child. Aside from that, he is deprived of the things he needs so he has to find ways to at least satisfy himself. Nonoy is also misunderstood by his environment and so people around him become anti social, arrogant and cruel as well. There are times when people get angry of his mischief and actions so they prefer to get him out of their way, tease him or snob him.
This might be the reasons which I think contributing to the situation and behavior of my client child.
G. THERAPEUTIC PLAN
At the end of the case study, my client child must be able to:
G.1 Knowledge Building
Know and identify the consequences of such unnecessary behaviors.
G.2 Skills Building
Perform actions in accordance to the social norms of the environment .
G.3 Attitude Building
Pay respect to people as well as to their feelings so as to avoid hurting them.
H. THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
I. THERAPEUTIC PROCESS
J. THERAPEUTIC RESULTS
In presenting problem, the child according to the significant people around him seems to be aggressive, bully and cruel to others especially to his playmates. These behaviors are manifested by the time his wills and wants are not met and satisfied. In order to patch up or pacify his behaviors and actions the decisions unto him are to: first, let him play imaginatively pertaining to the issue of social approval. He played the role of a child being disapproved and disliked by others. And also, he was assigned to make lighter works by his own so as to develop the sense of patience, waiting turns and responsibility. Lastly, he was involved in the story telling activity and asked the lessons he learned and how to establish it by himself. In result, the client child was hesitant and found hard time cooperating with the activities. He showed unnecessary behavior during it but as parents tried to explain things to him, he settled down and listened. He complied with the tasks and performed it. Still, explaining him the satisfaction and change he could get after it made him decide that he had to finish it.
K. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
In summary, my client child according to the study has been a bully, aggressive and anti social child. He has gone through several interventions as to how his thoughts, behaviors and feelings for others must be considered. The plans and interventions made changes to him.
Conclusion
I therefore conclude that my client’s behavior manifestation is affected by such factors and has to be assessed in order for him to be accepted and liked by others.
Recommendation
I would like to recommend that parents must always explain to their child the importance of respect to others, the patience in every work and humility in dealing with other people. They must also have time for the family so as to keep the relationship tight and bonded. The use of “SORRY” in every wrong actions must also be explained to him. Through this, it can develop his intrapersonal skills and sense of responsibility.
L. IMPLICATIONS TO EDUCATION AND ASSESSMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN
This case study results to a better understanding in this subject. The application of what I learned makes it more fulfilling to me. I experienced encountering child who needs to be understood, accepted and assessed. I also dealt with the significant people in his life having different standpoints towards me and to the whole case study. Their involvement in my work makes it a truly realistic case as well as their willingness to come up to better assessment outcomes. It makes sense that there is an actual application of knowledge as to how as to how certain behaviors must be identified and assessed.
