SECTION B. Joining Process

           

            Kim is my neighbor. Her family rent a room on us. In terms of our relationship, were not that close to each other. I decided to ask permission to the parents of Kim, for her to be my client in my case study. They did not refuse to it and they say yes.

SECTION C. Presenting Problem

            I interview the mother of Kim about what she had noticed on the behavior of her daughter. The problem that she identified is that when she leaves for work, Kim always cry and same with her father. Even just she will buy something to a store near to them Kim will still cry and want to go with her. Mrs. Eda told me that Kim always want to be on her side and her father and she always want to see them just like she is afraid of losing her parents.

            d.4. Personality Dynamics For Self Mastery

I asked Kimberly about her strengths and she told me that she is polite, kind and obedient. She added that [she likes to play dolls and coloring books For her weaknesses she said that she is easy to cry.

d.5. Personality  Dynamics For Relationship

Kimberly is always with her parents and brother. She is so attach to her family especially to her mother. With her brother, she always follow or imitate what he is doing and they play together. Sometimes her brother are the one who initiate to do and finished her  assignment. She never ignore the help of her brother. her mother bring her to school everyday and fetch her after that.Sometimes her father or brother are the who are doing it if her mother is in work. In home, After her schooling her parents are asking her about what happen in the scool, the activity that they have done, and her assignment.She is vocal to her teacher.

d.6. Personality Dynamics For Action

She is a good follower to adults especially to her parents.But like other children she also needs the help of her parent in doing something like in doing her assignments in school. She plays with her brother  if he wants or ask to. In school, she do all their activity on time according to her teacher. She participate also in their group work or activity. She recite when she know the answer to the question of her teacher.

E. Theoretical Framework 

Behavior of the child	Concept
The child always cry when her parent leave her in their home.	The child is dependent to her parents.
She always want to be on the side of her parents	The child is dependent to her parents.

F. Prognosis


According to my observation the child is experiencing separation anxiety. The child always cry whenever her parents will leave.Separation anxiety disorder is a psychological condition in which an individual experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from home or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (like a father, mother, grandparents, and brothers or sisters). Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD), is characterized by significant and recurrent amounts of worry upon (or anticipation of) separation from a child or adolescent's home or from those to whom the child or adolescent is attached.The parents of the child should focus on how are they going to solve her problem because it may lead to a more serious problem in the future. They should be reminded that at the age of the child, it is the foundation on how is she going to be when she grow up. But I think they will not get a hard time in helping the child to solve her problem because the girl can easily understand it that it is for her own sake.

She really enjoys this activity and she learns the concept of sharing because she shares her coloring material to her peers. She shows her work to me and to her peers.   She also enjoys playing because she is still a child. She is laughing and playing to this activity. And she never look for her parents while they are playing.

J.

                After having the objectives in therapeutic plan in section g and the activity that I have been conducted with my client for the Therapeutic intervention, I have noticed that my client shows a lot of improvement. With the activity that we have done she really enjoy the company of her peers. In the coloring activity, Kim shares her coloring materials with her peers. She is very happy to show her work to them. While playing she don’t think of her parents and never ask where they did go and its good that she don’t even cry. She is just playing and laughing with her peers for the 2 hours of activity. That is a good result for her because she learn some of the objectives that I have made.

L. Implication to Education and Assessment of Young Children

            I have learned that as a future educator I should know how to deal and be involved in the development of my entire student. I should try my best to help them to improve themselves not just to impart knowledge to them. Especially that we are going to handle preschool children, we have a responsibility as their second parent to build a strong foundation on what they are going to be in the future. We should guide them to become a better and competent citizen not only here in our country but also to other countries.
