Due to my need to have client I looked for her no one referred her to me.

E. Therapeutic Framework
D. Prognosis
Based on my observation the client child is very bossy to others; like what her parents observe about her. She tends to like those people who are giving her favor or those who are following what she wants. And because she usually gets those things she develops the superiority complex; which she brings to her community. The reason why she always fights with boys is that she isn’t letting them to take over her power to lead or “to be the boss.” The children who she belongs with are those children who are just following her commands; though these children really like to do it so. She doesn’t have patient on doing things sometimes she lets others to do things for her.
E. Therapeutic Plan
In this case the child gets what she wants. One factor is that she is the youngest in the family so most of the members try their best to give her needs and necessary.
G.1 Knowledge Building
At the end of the case the client child should:
· Be aware of the feeling of others
G.2 Skill Building
At the end of the case the client child should:
· Learn her communication skills particularly listening to others most especially to her opposite sex.
G.3 Attitude Building
At the end of the case the client child should:
· Be aware f h limitation about asking things and/or doing things.
H. Therapeutic Intervention
I. Therapeutic Progress
J. Therapeutic Result
The child could adjust to her peer group about being aware on others’ feelings and her communication skills. Though it still needs follow-up activities; she showed room for changing her attitude toward her community. But then, her superiority complex in their house is difficult to change and develop. It really needs a long progress of training so that she can adopt the positive attitude.
K. Summary
A 5 year old namely Diana Jane is the youngest member of her family. She is studying at HRCF Nursery Department and in Kindergarten Level. Due to reason that she’s the youngest daughter; most of the time what she wants is what she gets. By pampering that attitude by the other members of the family; she accidentally develops an attitude of what we so called “Superiority Complex.” She tends to be bossy not only n their house but she brings this attitude to school and playmates.
· Conclusion
I therefore conclude that a growing child can develop her attitude easily when she gets into it. Everything starts at home and if that attitude is being tolerated by other people around them, it would be so easy to adopt and develop but difficult to change.
· Recommendation
The family should continue the love and care they give to Diana. They should continue supporting her needs and necessities but then they should try to lessen and control themselves in giving all the things that she wants.
L.Implication
In this case the child is being over-pampered by the other people around her that cause her to have maladaptive behavior. But then, she still acquires learning in such a good way. In Assessment of Education her maladaptive behavior doesn’t really affect the way she adopts knowledge; that is the positive effect of a supportive family setting.
