Examination and Diagnosis

Interview with the Pupil I went to Mary Anns house to conduct an interview. When I arrived, Mary Ann is doing nothing. She is in the bed as if she will sleep but she is just looking at the ceiling. Actually she is expecting me to come one of these days but she does not actually know the exact date. Her older brother introduced me to her and then she left us. I introduced myself again to her and start asking questions. She is attentive in listening to my questions but she is hesitant in answering my questions. I asked first personal information about her. Then I proceed asking about her health. From being in the womb of her mother up to now. I focused also in her child play behaviors. How does her relationship with her playmates goes? It is really shocking on my part that she doesnt want to play with the children in their place and even in school. There is also a problem with her social behaviors. She is introvert, reserved, shy type that leads her from internal struggle. Her interpersonal skills and how she interacts with the different people around her. I administer her a Draw a Person personality test. I also asked her to describe herself for me to know what is her self-concept. I also asked her to describe the people around her like her family including her parents, brothers and sisters, her friends, her teachers, her classmates, and her playmates. From these questions we shifted to school environment. She only considers two friends in her school and they are Mirriam and Jope. She likes to talk to them because they are nice to her. Other than talking they are busy not playing physical games like the other children like. They enjoy using the cell phone of Mirriam. I asked her favorite subjects n school. She told me that she likes Filipino, EPP, and Hekasi. Among the three subjects she like Filipino most because she can easily understand the subject. She loves to write rather than to read. She wants to improve her penmanship and reading competencies. I asked her about her talent but she told me that she has no talent. Her mother told me that she likes singing but she only do that in their house while watching television especially when the performer is Sarah Geronimo. At this point of time in her life, her ambition is to become a teacher. Her reason is because she wants to teach children. While Mean is answering my questions, I noticed that she is uneasy in the beginning. As we continue the process of interview and counseling to the child, I observed that she started to become at ease to me. She can now answer my questions without any hesitations.

Home Visits I had been observing the child even before the start of this case study. She is unusual compare to her brothers and sisters and to the other children in their community. She does not want to go out in their house unless she will go to school. I nice had a conversation with her but without pen and paper in my hand. Just trying to get her trust. I also had an informal interview with the other members of their family. I conducted my formal interview to her last October 2. It followed by my second visit last October 3 and the last interview and visit in their house is last October 4. As I observed in their house, I can say that they are really in the poverty line. They are 10 we the family including the parents. One of her sister was in the promotion going to Japan. Her other siblings was there I their house. Her younger brothers are very naughty. As I am interviewing her, she and her brother was hurting each other.

Treatment/Remedy Applied As a result of interview, I discovered that she has a poor interpersonal skills and she has a fear of interacting to the other people. She is just inside the house when she is not in school. I told her that she must go outside and interact with the other children for her to have more friends. I asked her if she wants to have many friends, she said no. I asked her why, and she said I just dont like. She is contended having a best friend in the person of Joan. Her self-concept is not that low but she has inferiorities that serve a hindrance for her to explore and develop herself specifically her talents. She thinks that she has no talent. I told her that she has. God gave each and every individual a talent. It is just up to us if we will use this talent. I encourage her to develop her talent in singing and maybe, someday she will be as great or as good as her idol Sarah Geronimo.

Though she is a shy type person but there are times that she is a bully in their house. Her victims are her brothers and sisters. She initiates the conflict and misunderstanding by embarrassing her siblings. As a daughter, she does not want to follow instructions or tasks assigned to her by her mother. On the other hand, if her father is the one who commanded her to do a certain thing, she will easily follow. Maybe because there is a fear in her heart for her father. I told her that she must be good to her sisters and brothers because these people are the ones who will be by your side always when you need them. Your friends may leave you but your family will remain. I also told her that she must be a good daughter especially to her mother because her mother has many sacrifices for us from their womb until giving birth. And until now they have many sacrifices for us for they want all the good things for us. Our parents are the ones who sheltered us and give us clothing and foods. And most importantly, they give us love without expecting from us to give them the same amount of love they gave to us. She is industrious in terms of studying. Even without baon she will go to school. The problem is she is hesitant in reciting. She also doesnt want to belong to the star section though her teacher wants her to be there. She has inferiority complex and she is afraid to receive rejection from her classmates. I asked her not to become shy. She has her own abilities and intelligence that those intelligent pupils in their school do not have. None of her sisters or brother graduated in high school. Some do not actually graduated in elementary. I saw her potentials and the dream to finish her studies and somewhat change the kind of life they have now. She wants to become a teacher. I told her, its good. I recommended the Philippine Normal University an excellent teaching institution. I told her to hold on with her dreams and have a great determination to fulfill her dreams. I encouraged her to never give up with the obstacles she encountered for problems are made to make her strong.

Evaluation Health Living When Mrs. was pregnant with she loves to eat mango. She had an unhealthy pregnancy because she never goes to the doctor for the monthly check-up. In spite of that, she did not suffer from any illness. She never takes any vitamins to make sure that the baby would be fine. During labor, it is easy for her to give birth to the baby because Mary Ann is the fifth baby in the family. Mary Ann was delivered in a normal way. Mary Ann was breastfed by her mother for 1 year. She did not become sick until she reached eight years of age. When Mary Ann was eight years old, she had pulmonary infection but she did not experienced to be hospitalized. One reason is because they have no money so they just go to the public medical center in their barangay to treat or cure her disease. Mary Ann was not given the right medicines and vitamins so he had an unhealthy body. She never experienced

injected with any vaccine for anti-polio, anti-tetanus, anti-tuberculosis, and others need by the child like her. She is choosy in terms of food. That is an old issue they have in the family, her father get angry with her when she do not want to eat. The reason for that attitude in eating is that because she does not want the food and secondly, sometimes there is no food to eat.
