B.  Joining Process:
          
         John-John is a student to me for three years now in our Church Sunday school.  He is very easy to  be   acquainted with.
      He volunteers himself by raising his hand whenever there's an activity to be done.  But when it comes to understanding
      a question, his response will always be "nya", and that really bothers me as his teacher.  He joins with the group and
      he shows good camaraderie to other children.

C.  Presenting Problems:

         John-John, as I've said, uses to respond with "nya" word.  His  attentiveness seemingly distracts by "something".  He won't
     listen unless you call his name.  Probably he responds that way to get attention or he's not comfortable with the person he is
     talking to.  Perhaps when you get familiarize with him, he will talk to you normally as he uses to.

D.Psychosocial History:
    
         He is a playful kid.  He is sometimes loving and thoughtful.  As he plays with his fellow children, he displays an attitude of being a faithful friend.

  D.1.  Time Line:
               John-John suffered seizures when he was just two years old.  He loves to sing in the children's
choir, and he is always attending Sunday School class and participating on other activities in the church.
He is fond of riding his bike.

  D.2.  Genogram: 


D.3.  Sociograph:




     - According to John-John, he doesn't like his four classmates because of their bad attitude.  They always bullying and insulting John-John. 

- When it comes in their home, John-John likes everybody, he loves his parents even his three brothers.
John-John is a lovable person specially to his love ones.


  D.4.  Self-Mastery: ( Personality Dynamics of the Child)


         John-John is not that expressive to completely tell about himself.  But you could see his attitude and personality through his actions.  He is thoughtful to his loved ones.  He is very good in coloring his work.  He also shows God fearing attitude.


  D.5.  Relationships:


         He wants to cook for his mom and shows tenderness to his dad and provides caress for his youngest five months old brother.


  D.6.  Actions:


        John-John can follow simple instructions from his teacher and his mother.  He also displays computer skills.  He is just an average learners.  He can already read simple words.  Kinesthetically John-John is a good runner and a biker.


E.  Theoretical Framework:


        With these observations John-John is simply displaying an inferiority complex when it comes to his communication skills.  And sometimes a lack of confidence in doing somethings.  He yells when he is being annoyed by his older brothers.



F.  Prognosis:     
      
         Since his father is always working abroad,  John-John is looking for an image of a father which is vital to his psychological development.  Being in the middle  of four brothers, he is securing attention and affection.  He is sometimes being bullied by his two older brothers and being
forgotten because of a newly born brother.  Probably he is seeking attention whenever he yells so
loud.

G.  Therapeutic plan:  

       Heart-to heart talk is very effective to John-John.  He now minimizes answering “nya”
   word.

   G.1.  Knowledge Building:
         To enhance his memory and reading skills, I often assign him to memorize short verses
   from the Bible, of course before memorizing, I allow him to read first the passage, thus
   teaching him also to practice his reading skill.

   G.2.  Skill Building:
          Since he is very skillful in arts particularly coloring, I must see to it, he works on them
    frequently.

    G.3.  Attitudes Building:
           A simple rebuke with love will also curtail his bad attitude such us yelling.

-          John-John’s activities are progressing, because of his potentiality and eagerness to
  learn and his personal activities are improving.

K.  Summary, Conclusion, Recommendation:
      
         There’s a lot of potentialities with this boy.  Knowing that John-John comes from a family
    who are skillful in arts, he is best to train in that skill.  Securing his confidence and winning
    his heart, John-John could be living a life above his normal or above his average.  Consistent
    hard work and  continuing drills that would enhance his capabilities would be better tools to
    develop this child.

L.  Implications To Education and Assessment of Young Children:

         Young children are very vulnerable; they need proper care and keen understanding.
     Knowing their strength and their weaknesses will always be your guide in educating and
     assessing them.  Knowing their behavior and family background serve also as your compass
     on what direction you want to bring them.  Proper knowledge as well as inner passion will
     always be your keys to success in bringing them into fulfillment of their dreams and
     ambitions.
