Normalized Children's Behavior

In this movie, it seemed that the mother is putting one child’s quality of life over the other children. Jesse is being neglected because he has a selfish mother.

In this case study I will describe the observation of a child while applying psychodynamic thinking and theory. The whole observation took place in a secondary school within a 9 week period, one hour every week. However, I was able to observe this particular child 6 times as at the beginning I was given a different child. Due to the fact that the first child was not attending the lessons they had to change him and find me a different one. For confidentiality reasons all the names that will be referred in this case study are going to be pseudonymous. The second child will be referred as Marissa, the Learning Support Assistant (LSA) as Anna, the Inclusion Manager as Alison and the school as Roots. In this observation the main purpose was to attempt to understand the unconscious inner world of the child, the verbal and non-verbal

Do you recall a time when your young child imitated you, modeling adult behavior beyond their years? Wasn 't it the cutest sight, something to be captured on film perhaps? Behavior modeling is most effective as children learn and imitate skills to become successful adults. What about those behaviors or bad habitats as we like to refer to them that most of us wish we never started doing? Most parents tell their children to stay away from alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana as these substances should not be a childhood habitat and then turn around an model this exact behavior. Parents may think that the positive, open, understanding relationship they have with a child would be protective of childhood substance use and poor relationships are more likely to lead a child down this road. But if parents are the ones modeling these behaviors is the child expected to do as the parents say but not as they do?

My friends always have to tell me to slow down, since my legs carry me down the packed hallways faster than they can keep up with. I finish my food while my lunch mates have barely eaten half, and when I talk words seem to leave my brain faster than my tongue can translate. I stumble over my words because of their rapidity, and even when my speech comes out eloquently I am asked to repeat it, because it was too fast for others to comprehend. I move at a fast pace in every aspect of my life, as I spent the majority of my childhood modeling my behavior after my mom.
