D.2 GENOGRAM
In the table 1, It represents the three generational relationship of the Gaspay Family. The upper portion of the boxes, are the grandfathers and grandmothers of the child I observed in this case study. In the left side is the family where the mother of the child is belongs while the right side is the family where the father belongs. That is the middle portion. In the last portion are the siblings of the child I observed. The types of family they had is consanguine or extended family. In their home they consist of husband, wife, siblings and grandparents.
In the table 2, it is the represent of the relationship between the families. According to them, they had a good relationship but there is sometimes that they are not comfortable with each other. When I asked them one by one about their likes and dislikes in their family, Winna is the most likes in the family members but Christine is the most dislikes of the family. They dislike Christine because she is so lazy and very ill-tempered. They most like winna because winna is so sweet and kind. But they said they had a good relationship even there is a one who dislike because of that behavior. Because they are still eating their food together, talking to each other and so on.
D.3 SOCIOGRAM
This is the represented of likes and dislikes of erjhon with his playmates. He dislikes Intoy, Ralph Lawrence and Ashley. Because according to him, they are always hurt him and so selfish in the things he wants to borrowed. But Aljaver was so kind for him.
D.4-D.6 PERSONALITY DYNAMICS
· SELF MASTERY
He knows the name of each sibling. He knows that his grandfather was died. He also knows that they saw their neighbor got shot by a gun. He said that time he cried because of afraid. He also knows that he is naughty.
· RELATIONSHIPS
He is close to his father than her mother. According to him, His father always had a gift for him like a piece of donuts. While his mother was always punish him because of being naughty. He close to his grandfather than his grandmother, because according to him, his grandfather was kind and he always gave him a banana. The reason why he doesn’t close to his grandmother, because of she doesn’t want Erjhon to sit in the swinging. He is avoiding closing to his eldest brother because he is afraid. Because, his eldest brother very angry with him when he is disturbing him in doing. So that he is afraid to draw close to his brother because he thinks that his eldest brother will be mad to him.
· ACTIONS
He can sing, dance and tumbling. He know to count a numbers from 1-10. But he doesn’t know how to write his own name and an alphabet, how to read and how to sing a nursery rhyme.
Based on the present problem in the child case, the child showing being aggressive because of lack of attention. In behavioral theory by Skinner, he used the term reinforcement to describe the immediate behavior that is likely to strengthen it. But in the case of Erjhon, we should use the Shaping method. Wherein is to help a child learn a new behavior by teaching it in small steps and systematically reinforcing the attainment of each step. Extinction is used to eliminate a behavior that had previously been reinforced by taking away all reinforcement.
The other problem for the child case, that he believing the one thing that is not to be trusted. The stage of development by Erikson the “Trust vs. Mistrust” is the stage wherein the child should be in the process of the development of trust. In the case of Erjhon, he is easy to trusting to other people saying.
F. PROGNOSIS
My first impression of the problem is not a big deal for them. Because we all know that the child was so naughty. When I in their home, at first Erjhon was shy with me but as times goes by, he is shown his being a talkative and being a naughty child. Because when I’m talking with her mother, he gets my pen and then he wrote a scribbling to my paper. Then his mother discipline him by saying don’t disturb her. So in that case, it proves me that his siblings told to me a while ago was true. So as I observed to the problem, may be Erjhon is a kind of a child who is attention seeker. Because for me is the reason why he does such thing to feel to the person that “hello... I’m here.” But there is one thing I observed to him when I was in their home. He is sweet because when I told to them that “goodbye! I will go home because it is night already. My parents called me to go home.” Then, he respond me that “Please, stay… and sleep with us.” I was smiled and say “sorry… but my parents called me to go home.” He three times saying that he wants me to be with them. But his mother talked to him and then he stop to say it again to me because he understood. Then he say to me “goodbye”. For me the cause of this problem, they not give praise to him and attention to him so that he does that such things.
My impression about his education problem may be the reason why he doesn’t know how to read and write because of not teaching by his parents and also his siblings. Then I think that, he is also not ready to learn in education because he wants to play and play with his playmates. Then we all know that the child want his all day activities is to play. But I think in this age, the child must be learning how to read and write. When I asked his mother that does she try to teach his son in reading and writing, she said “I didn’t try at all, because she is busy to do household chores”. So may be the cause of the problem is in the parent that not taught his child in education. Because they are so busy in their own business. And they are not motivating their child in the education.
