J. Therapeutic Result
My observation tells that the client child is having a behavioral problem so I decided to have objectives and activities that will help my client to merely remove those maladaptive behaviors. Conducting an activity is difficult for me because I must offer my time for me to have a good and successful observation. He starts applying it and developing the skills he had before to present life situations. In attitude building, it is the big challenge to him. Because children tend to learn and forget the values teach to them. The environment has a big factor that influence to the development of his values and attitudes. The activities that I have conducted for the client is suited for the behavior of the child that needs development. I hope that this case study and therapy will truly help the child in his life.
K. Summary, Conclusions and Recommendation
Summary
The case study is about the child who has relationship problem to his parents and being bully and aggressive. The therapist gathered some important data about the client that will help him towards the case. Before the therapy starts, the therapist tries to build a good relation to the child as well to his parents to start the therapy without any barriers of being a stranger. Using timeline, genogram and sociograph the therapist easily identified some of the problems of the client child. Then, the therapist conducts an observation and activities that will help the client child to develop and achieve the therapist’s objectives.
The therapist has able to know and merely solve the problem of the client child.
Conclusions
I therefore conclude that the client child learns and improve a lot on his relationship to his parents, sister and friends. The client child learns how to be responsible in home and in school. I also conclude that the child will be able to help himself to improve a lot.
Recommendation
I recommend the parents to keep in touch with the therapist for any improvements or problem that will occur so they can maintain the progress of their child. And through these consultations, the family will broaden their knowledge about the needs of their child and its process of development.
I. Implication to Education and Assessment of Young Children
In this case study, I experience and learn a lot. Time is what it takes to understand the case study and see what will happen next. Not only the client child improves but also me as a therapist, I improve myself as a good listener and someday a good teacher that will my students to improve their selves. As a therapist, you must have the patience to wait for the result and perseverance in observing and looking for some information that will help you in this case study. I also learned that you must be objective in your observation and consider even the most tiny detail that you think will help you a lot in the observation. You must learn how to listen and socialized with others. Parents are the one is responsible to their child. Parents must give enough attention for their child to maintain the good relationship between them. It is important to involve the siblings of the child in a study to participate in the activity. It will help the client child to be not afraid and become comfortable to the therapist. Never isolate the client child if you are conducting a case study.
