I am a Sunday school teacher of Mizzy, Mizzy is one of the active student in my class. Sometimes we used to eat together with her snacks. She is fun of sharing snacks to me, mostly hamburger.

So in other words, we’re close. I treat Mizzy as my younger sister, I and her mother are good friends.

C. PRESENTING PROBLEM

As I interviewed the mother of the client, there is such maladaptive behavior that the client had. The client is hyper active in a way that, she does not know his/her playmates are getting hurt for what the client did to them. The client also have a behavior that she always wants to catch the attention of anyone by hurting the involve individual, by acting that the client get hurt, and by doing unnecessary movement like dancing or acting. Also the client is fun of talking, by that young age she knew something personal problems of others and she is fun of saying that said problem to other person. Mizzy born 2 months earlier than normal delivery, if we called in tagalog (Pito-pito) that’s why Mizzy behaves that way said her mother.

     d.4 Personality dynamics (self mastery)

As I observed the child, Mizzy Magilat has some maladaptive behavior. In her young age she is fun of talking about problem of other people. She is always wanted to feel that she is the apple of the eye in her family. She is smart and industrious in terms of studying but what I noticed she wants to play only with her best friend Coline. Mizzy wants to be with her parents but her parents are too busy to be with her.

      

    d.5  Personality dynamics (Relationship of the child)

Mizzy’s father and mother are both engaged with their work. Mizzy’s mother is a call center agent while his father is security guard. Because of parent’s complicated time they don’t have enough time to be with her daughter. Her grandmother serves as her mother and at the same time father of Mizzy. Mizzy is so much close to her grandmother.

     d.6  Personality dynamics (Action)

     

Mizzy always wakes up at 7:00am. After taking her breakfast, took her bath, she go with her grandmother in school before 8:00 am. And after her class hour, she went to her best friend house Coline to play their favorite game (bahay-bahayan). Around 6:00 pm she takes her puppet with her lola, do her homework together with grandfather and grandmother that she go to bed and sleep.

E.Theuretical Framework 

The mother of the child sense that Mizzy always want to be at the center of attraction. Mizzy also attention seeker. Often times the client always want to hurt their playmates that cause her isolated.

F. PROGNOSIS

    The client observes as a Attention seeker, hyperactive & aggressive in some situation. The client must have proper attention especially to their parents. In terms of her attitude of being hyperactive, only we can do is to guide her & talk to her bad doings. Mizzy’s maladaptive behavior can cure by giving attention especially giving time together w/ her parents.

J. THERAPEUTIC RESULT

               After I’ve done some activities for the client, she has progress to change her maladaptive behavior. In terms of socialization, Mizzy learned to control her behavior (especially hurting her playmates). Still she is hyperactive but know she have self- control. There are also developments in terms of relationship of Mizzy to her family. Because of the time spent by her parent, Mizzy is know enjoying bonding w/ her family.

K. SUMMARY

               I feel the happiness of my client’s mother. She observe that her daughter change a lot because of the activities that I held before. Way back at first Mizzy have emotional disturbance, she cannot control her behavior & as a result she hurt her playmates because of aggression. I conduct some activities that helps the client to change her maladaptive behavior. At last Mizzy have progress, she can now play w/ her playmates w/ less aggression, and she can now control her emotion to hurt her playmates.

L. IMPLICATION TO EDUCATION AND ASSESSMENT

 OF YOUNG CHILDREN

               This case helps us, especially me in handling in young learners. We must be aware that every child has a reason why they act like that. We must be open- minded and concern in every moment that we shared. Children need us. Children need guidance & care. We need us to develop what they have to be a good person.
