Section B
Therapeutic Relationship

          In my case study, I prepared my objectives, goal and some activities. The first thing that I did is too talked to the parents of my client so that the parents have an idea of what will happen. I explained that this case study can help the child to know his problem and how to change this kind of behavior or attitude.
          The parents of Criswel are supportive because they said that they will help me in this study. And they accept my opinion and my suggestion to make the child to become a better person.

Psychosocial History

2008 – But during his 3 years of age the child experienced accident, “Nalaglag sa hagdan” and Criswel got a big scar on his head. According to the medical the child is now OK.
2009 - The child experienced of getting far away to his family.



D2     GENOGRAM





D3     SOCIOGRAPH




D4     SELF-MASTERY

According to the child
·       He is good in his academics
·       He got average in his grade
·       But in recitation he is not active
I planned activities to test if the child really has self mastery. I taught the topic about reading, counting numbers and etc. But in terms of recitation he is not cooperating. When I gave them a written test he got an average score like 7 over 10 it means the child have knowledge but he is shy. He is good in academics.

D5 RELATIONSHIP
          As I observed him, Criswel is loner and when Kenneth asked him to play, he always says “I’m sorry, I don’t want to go outside” But his mother giving him a freedom to play with Kenneth. Criswel did not respond and he ignores what his mother said. Because of that behavior it means that criswel is not closed to his family. After a few minutes the father came but my client did not seen any reaction, not excited or interested to his father so that’s why he had low self-esteem.

D6     ACTION
          In my observation Criswel is obedient, kind and also a good child because he was been raised well by his parents. And additional to that my client is responsible in his duties, when his mother asked him to do the household chores he immediately followed and he does not complained whenever his mother asked him to do things. Even if he possesses those good traits he is a type of kid who prefer to be alone because he doesn’t easily trust anybody.

 Section E
Theoretical Framework

In relation to this case study I’ve noticed that the most related theory to Criswel is Interpersonal Intelligence according to Howard Gardner this kind of Intelligence is where a person who does things on by himself or what we called loner. Every time I observed him, he wanted to be alone and no one likes him because of his attitude. Some people say that he is crazy but I think he had a bad experienced that’s why the child developed Mistrust. Criswel’s social skills can be compared in psychosocial learning theory by Erick Erickson because his trust was not been developed during his early years that’s why he only trust his parents.

Section F
Prognosis

Based on my observation, the only problem I’ve seen in Criswel was Interpersonal what we called a loner. TO prove if he really had a behavioral problem, I make some pilot testing to him. I talked to the child but he was quite silent and when I’ve asked him “why are not you talking?” he only said that “I’m shy”. When I asked his friend Kenneth he said “Criswel he is always bullied by some of his classmates that’s why he generalized that all of his classmates are bullies.

Section G  
Therapeutic Plan

G1     KNOWLEDGE BUILDING
          To test if the child is knowledgeable I prepared a short role play including his new friends. Before we start the activity, I asked him if he wants to cooperate. He felt sad because he is not prepared and when I observed him during the activity I noticed that he had a talent in acting because he has knowledge in acting and memorizing the lines of each script. There is a possibility he can join in declamation contest in their school because he has a long memory. His parents do not know that his son has a wonderful talent. Until now his parents are still in the process of exploring their child’s talent.

G2 SKILL BUILDING
          To develop his skills I prepared sing and dance contest to involve Criswel with other children. Before we proceed to the contest, I asked him what his feeling when he got involved in this contest. He said “I feel nervous, I cannot do it “But because of the full support of his parents, Criswel joined. The mother of Criswel said that he had also talents in singing and dancing and I was amazed by his talents. When the sing and dance contest finished I asked him again what he feel after he performed. He said that “I felt so happy” because of the support of his family so that he did it. The family has a big factor in developing the behavior of the child.

G3 ATTITUDE BUILDING
          To build his attitude I use the suggestion of Sir Miranda about the Mirror Activity it helps me to know what Criwel’s reflection. When I started to implement this activity I explained first the process. And then I try to explained to him that in his left side of the mirror this was his reflection that is Criswel, before who was loner, shy type and sometimes serious kid. But in his right side that is the new Criswel who is Friendly, sociable to others. By the help of this activity and his parents he develops his self-confidence.

Section I
Therapeutic Progress

          There were lots of activities I made but not all were effective to my client. When we started to conduct the last two activities, I’ve seen the changes on him because there were progression and improvement on his condition. I felt so happy because my case study is successful.
          The title of my two last activities are Backtalk and Appraisal Activity it was been held on March 16 to 17 2011, those activities are so difficult to conduct because they will express what they feel, after all the activities they will give certain comment about the performance of each child. When Criswel where given appraised by his friends he felt so proud to his self and happy. In return they gave a big smile; the activities cause him to become sociable. And I can say that I reached my objectives and goals in the life of my client.

Section J
Therapeutic Results

          All the activities that I’ve done for Criswel that I made to him to become open and sociable to other people, before the problem that my client is experiencing was becoming too loner and he avoids socialization. Now, he transformed as a better person. He became friendly, lovable and also an Interpersonal kid. I’m proud because this case study became successful also with the help of the client’s parents.


Section K 

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY
After all the interventions were implemented the only thing that I can say that my client fall under the category of Intrapersonal Intelligence. Even if he under Intrapersonal Intelligence, still I conducted activities that will build his socioalization. Through the activities, Criswel became a better person and if he continues to socialize he might regain his trust.

CONCLUSION
Therefore I conclude that my client’s behavior changed in terms of socialization with other children. Through the continuous encouragement by the parents and he can also improve or developed his interpersonal skills.

RECOMMENDATION
I recommend to my client that he might continue socializing to other people so that he can improve more talent and skills. The additional to that he must try to build friendship to become much better person. Because they can help you to developed more
I recommend to the parents that they need give Criswel more attention so that he cannot feel again to be alone. And the parents will encourage their child so that he can express and explore new things.

Common Problem in Early Childhood


5 Common Problems

1. Sleep Disorders 

- sleep disorders can be defined as too much or too little sleep than is appropriate for the age of the child. By the age of 1-3 months the longest daily sleep should be between midnight and morning. Sleeping through the night is a developmental milestone but at the age of 1 year 30% of children may still be waking in the night. Stable sleep patterns may not be present until age 5 years but parental or environmental factors can encourage the development of circadian rhythm.

2. Down Syndrome

-Down syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth, and a particular set of facial characteristics. Individuals with Down syndrome tend to have a lower-than-average cognitive ability, often ranging from mild to moderate disabilities. 

3. Behavior Disorders ( Disruptive )

-Disruptive Behavior Disorders, also referred to also as Behavior Disorders, are the most common reasons children are referred for mental health practitioners for possible treatment. All disruptive behavior is not the same, Behavior Disorders is an umbrella term that includes more specific disorders, such as Conduct DisorderOppositional Defiance Disorder, and ADHD.

 Treatment:

Because so many of the factors that cause Disruptive Behavior Disorders happen very early in a child’s life, it is important to recognize the problems as early as possible and get treatment. The treatment which appears to have shown the best results is a combination of specialized Parent Skills training. Parent training and therapy with the child or adolescent, is most effective when done in the family home.

4. Childhood depression symptoms

- Depression is associated with many difficulties including learning problems, acting out in school, dropping out of school...
    Sadness is a universal emotion that no one is immune from, everyone in the world feels sad in some way or another on a daily basis for various reasons. The state of feeling sad is called “depression” and usually refers to a condition of feeling sad very often, for a prolonged period of time.

5. Symptoms of Emotional disorders

The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Emotional disorders includes the 5 symptoms listed below:
·         Anxiety
·         Fatigue
·         Poor appetite
·         Weight loss
·         Violent behavior
The Treatment of Anxiety
Patient education regarding available treatment and reassurance often has a calming effect
Treatment usually combines pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation training, and biofeedback
General anxiety disorder: Cognitive therapy has been proven to be beneficial; benzodiazepines, buspirone, and antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs) are all effective; however, concern over dependence sometimes limits the use of benzodiazepines
Panic disorder: SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and cognitive-behavioral therapy are equivalently effective
Obsessive-compulsive disorder: High-dose SSRIs and cognitive-behavioral therapy are effective


The Treatment of Violent behavior

Take measures to protect yourself, such as remaining at a distance from the patient and calling for assistance.
Remain calm, and make sure you have enough personnel for a show of force to subdue or restrain the patient if necessary.
Encourage the patient to move to a quiet location—free from noise, activity, and people—to avoid frightening or stimulating him further.
 If the patient makes violent threats, take them seriously, and inform those at whom the threats are directed.
If ordered, administer a psychotropic medication.

My Hopeful thoughts

The hopeful thoughts I had, when I awakened my youth. My father feel to me that I'm a worthless  person and sinister in this world. During my childhood time my father always tortured me and  he said that is all my fault  because his dream is gone when I was born in this world. My father always blame me that I'm the reason how our lives become miserable . My father treated me like an animal and all the things that I didn't forget when may father hanged me in our house, "pinaluhod ako sa asin at mongo" while holding four books in my hand. During those moment I always felt hatred to him.


With the help of my friend they invite me to serve God. When I started to close to the Lord I understand why do it if he had done to me because during his childhood days he had experience it to my grandfather. 


Now I understand all the things that he done to me because of the words of God he change my beliefs in life. "Wala palang malas na tao" so that I'm very thankful to my father because if he did not do it to me I've never known God.
