E. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

  

F. PROGNOSIS

• The Mother-child relationship acts as a model for subsequent relationships with others. If the mother maintains a positive, cooperative atmosphere, the child will tend to develop social interest. But if mother binds the child exclusively to her, the child will learn to exclude other people from  her life and develop low social interest. A person's lifestyle and fictional goals must consider the improvement of society. Otherwise the person ends up being neurotic.
• The parents demonstrate genuine affection and warmth toward the child, there by satisfying its needs for safety. This condition leads to normal development.
• The parents demonstrate indifference, rejection, or even hatred, thereby frustrating the child's need for safety. This condition leads to neurotic development.

G. THERAPEUTIC PLAN

K. SUMMARY

• A six-yr old girl kindergarten. An only child of Marilyn and Juvy Malutao. When her parents separated, Her mom left going abroad and she left to her grandmother's care but her grandmother died last year. Because of what happen to her family she tends to be disobedience, hard-headed and naughty girl. The therapeutic intervention has a big impact to her behaviour. Her maladaptive behaviour change everyday.
• I recommend the client guardian to give the client chance to interact to other children outside their home.
• I therefore conclude that maladaptive behaviour of the children will probably a mistaken behaviour. It is very important to understand the behaviour of every children around you.

L. IMPLICATION TO EDUCATION AND ASSESSMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN

• Teacher has a big impact to every children future especially in school scenario. The teacher must be careful on her action and words so that the children will continue to trust the teacher strength. Contact talk, friendly touch, different therapeutic approach are not only the things to remember how to handle those little children. The collaboration is very important to the learning of the children.
