Questions:

1. What are some marked changes in your child as he/she reached the intermediate
level? (Grade 4 to 6).
 Some of the marked changes that my child does are; first the way he
interacts with other people. During his preschooler days, he had difficulties
in socializing and interacting with his classmates. Secondly being friendly,
as he continues to learn and to grow he was able to cope up with his
difficulties in interacting with others. He was able to create friends from his
section. And lastly, his patience, as for now he had extended his patience
unlike before. He is understanding with his brother.
2. How can you describe his/her interactions with parents, siblings, teachers, peers –
if any?
 There is a huge difference in term of his interaction to us before. He always
wants to get what he wants from us, every time we cannot give his wants he
would throw tantrums and he would not talk or interact with us. He also
fights a lot with his little brother. And in term of his study, he doesn’t want
to listen to his teacher while discussing lesson. But as of now, he became
more understanding, he still has his tantrums but not same reason as before.

often as before. He is also excited every time he has class.
