CASE STUDIES
Paul
Paul is 4 and has been in P1 for
a few months. He has an older sister in P3. It is very obvious
that while the other children have settled down to school routine Paul is
finding it very difficult. He seems to be quite a bright child but
when persuaded to sit with the rest of the class,
will not put his hand up, shouts out and demands the teacher's attention
at all times. He does not play with other children but will hit them
and push them away. He needs to be first in the line for dinner or
P.E. etc. |

If he doesn't get the attention
he wants or if he is not allowed to be first in line, he will start
crying
hysterically and scream and kick. On a few occasions when this
happened the young teacher relented and persuaded the others to let Paul
go first. He is well aware of the timing of the day's events and when
it is close to home time Paul will fetch his coat, put it on and regularly
run
out of the classroom without waiting to be told to go. |
