D.4 PERSONALITY DYNAMICS (SELF-
MASTERY)
Bernard is the youngest child in their family. His parents are both working. Their grandfather is the one who take good care of them and supervise them from their daily living, because their parents are busy working. Bernard is a “mama’s boy”, he is closer to his mother rather than to his father.
2009, 2 years ago, when his mother decided to go abroad to work and it’s the saddest part for Bernard as what his grandfather said.
Bernard is a sweet child, he loves showing his love through kissing to his family. He loves playing with his playmates and he never wants to be alone. Sometimes he is stuttered in other words like “kati” instead of “kasi”, he exchange the pronunciation of letter “s” and “t”. He doesn’t want anybody shout at him, when somebody do that to him he immediately cry.
Because he has no mother in their home, he called one of his godmother as his “mama”, he thought that his godmother is his mother. He is closer to his 2d brother than to the 1st one, he treat his grandfather has his father more than his biological father because he is always not around.
Bernard is very silent inside their classroom and he doesn’t want to participate in class discussion and sometimes he doesn’t want to go to school, in the contrary, when he is in their home and playing he is very annoying and he is not pugnacious to his playmates and when his playmates teased him. When somebody is bullying him he immediately cries and go home instead of fighting to them.
As what his grandfather said Bernard has different attitudes, sometimes he makes things so that he can get the attention of somebody around him.

stuffs. He treats his grandfather as his father. He tells all his problems and feelings to him.
NEIGHBORHOOD: He is shy and elusive
D.6 PERSONALITY DYNAMICS (ACTIONS)
Bernard can do things by his own. But sometimes if he can’t do it, he asked for help by others. He loves exploring but sometimes those things makes him hurt.
He can eat on his own, but can’t prepare and fixed all the things that he uses. He can take a bath on his own but there’s no guarantee that he clean his self well, because he play while taking a bath inside the classroom. He can’t do school works on his own. He doesn’t want to play on his own, he want5s companion.
But all things that Bernard do, his grandfather together with his siblings is always there for him to supervise and guide him.
H. THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION
J. THERAPEUTIC RESULTS
E. ASSESSMENT CASE STUDY
There are many variables that can affect to be different individual like our family. Family is the immediate environment of the child. Family is the first community of the child. So the primary way children learn is by modeling those in the environment which embarrassed the importance of the family. So if you have a modeled family who promote approved behavior the expected result will be conformity.
In the case of Bernard, his family is one of the big factors that affect his development and behavior. Like in individual psychology of Alfred Adler, child develops the sense of inferiority feelings in a way that Bernard feels being neglected and rejected by his family. Children whose parents are indifferent or hostile go through infancy and childhood that are characterized by lack of love and security. As a result, these children develop feelings of worthlessness or even anger and view others with distrust. Bernard doesn’t have trust to his mother and father, on the other hand, he give his trust to his grandfather who is closer to him. And also Bernard gets one of his needs which is love and belongingness to his grandfather. This need is stated by Gines by his hierarchy of needs which refers to human needs for family and friends.
In case of Bernard, he doesn’t feel this kind of needs to his parents and siblings, in result he feels lonely and isolated.
Horney believes that social forces in childhood not biologically forces, influences personality development. Social relationship between child and his or her parents is the key factor. A factor my client doesn’t have.
F. PROGNOSIS
Individual have an opportunity for perspective taking and reflective thinking that may lead to higher levels of cognitive, social, and moral development, as well as self-esteem. Quality personal relationship that provides stability, trust, and caring can increase the learner’s sense of belonging, self-respect and self-acceptance, and provide a positive climate for learning. Family influences, positive interpersonal support and instruction in self-motivation strategies.
One of the problems of Bernard is that his parents have no time with him or them. They are busy working and don’t have enough time to interact with them. In that kind of problem Bernard doesn’t develop the sense of trusting his parents. Aside from that he always wants to be alone, sometimes he doesn’t want to play with his playmates especially when he bullies them. He becomes dependent. He adopts passive rather than an active attitude toward life and he becomes stressed. He leans on others as a result of being neglected and rejected.
From all of his family members his heart is so close to his mother but one event happen that his mother needs to go abroad and leave their family. Bernard become stressed and longing for the care of his mother. As what Adler said, he noted the importance of the mother as the first person with whom the baby comes in contact. Through her behavior toward the child, the mother can either foster interest or thwart its development.
In all of these, also his schooling becomes affected. He doesn’t want to participate and interact with his teacher and classmates, in result he receive a low grades and doesn’t want to go to school. Bernard’s depression arises.
His self-esteem decrease and social interest. He didn’t cooperate with other people and also to his family to achieve his personal and social goals.
I can say that family relationship really affects the growth of the child as what I observe to Bernard.

J. THERAPEUTIC RESULTS
The first problem that Bernard has is that he miss the presence of his parents specially his mother because they are busy working. In that case, I thought that through recalling the happy and special moments in his life it will lessen the feeling of losing and missing his parents. It also built trust by asking happy moment his father and discussing it to him. And because harmonious relationship is not being foster by their parents also the bonding and good relationship of the siblings is not yet foster too. Games will help the siblings to be closer to each other like board games, you let them be as team and work for to win the game. And also child first hobby and interest is watching T.V or watching movie like educational films after watching they will discuss what things that get their attention most, in that matter it will develop enjoyment and bonding by their siblings.
Family is the first community of the child, so family must built a good foundation for their child. If the child doesn't develop well for example in terms of communicating with others it becomes hard for them to cope with others. In Bernard's case he has difficulty in interacting to his environment. In his playmates, he seldom plays with them. So every child shows child their activeness by playing like playing street games "larong lahi". When they are playing they develop good relationship by means of talking and giving ideas to others. Trusting is also developing.
K. SUMMARY
In my two weeks observation, gathering information and working with my case study with my client which is Bernard Brase I observe a lot from him for his misbehavior, strong and weak points and up to on how he progress from my case study.
Because of my curiosity in Bernard’s personality I went to their home and asked permission to his parents, but in my surprise, his grandfather is the one who entertain me and said that he is the one who take good care of Bernard and to his two brothers. So as our conversation goes by, I gathered lots of information from him, from his personal data up to his problem as a child.
So in my case study or observation Bernard perform well, but like other he has maladaptive behavior also which is he is neglected by his parents that results to low self-esteem and lack of communication and interacting to his environment.
He doesn’t develop trust from his parents because they are not around and busy working. Aside from that he is not close to his siblings (his 2 brothers) because they have different agendas. Agendas that doesn’t develop their closeness and bonding. Contrary with that he develop his trust and closeness to his grandfather who support him and supervise his needs. As a result of that, Bernard has a hard time socializing with others, in his environment which result to low grade and to his playmates and neighbors, but sometimes he loves playing specially with the same age.
So to help Bernard from his case I conclude that through the use of my 3 objectives which help him to build and develop his knowledge, skills and values with the help of my activities.I can help him to boost his self-esteem and have trust to his family members. Dealing with his kind of problem is a hard job, specially I conclude that Bernard is emotionally disturbed. So I recommended that as a part of Bernard’s community I will show my love to him and help him and his family to built and develop a harmonious relationship. As what Horney said parents or family is the key factor to have a good social relationship.
L. IMPLICATION
Being a teacher is a difficult profession. A multi-tasking teacher who perform all the role, as an educator, instructor’ facilitator, manager, catalyst and a therapists, etc. Dealing with a young children is a hard job as an educator I should plant a good foundation in each individual and you should facilitate them well for you to be a good instructor. Managing children’s life is a responsibility for us as a catalyst and specially dealing with young children with different behavior is a challenge for us as a therapists.
So through the use of this observation or case study, it helps me a lot to assess my future students not also them but for those child who needs my help. This help us as future educator and a therapists to understand our pupils and in that case we can built a harmonious relationship with our pupils and not to underestimate them. You should deal with our pupils because we are their “2nd family or parents”, so we must know how to show our care and love to them.
Everything that we’ve than we can use this in our own field, so try to work hard for it. It is not about the grade but on how you will apply it in our future profession.
