This case study involves Jessica, a thirty-five-year-old single mother who works a full-time job while caring and providing for her 8-year-old son, Michael. Michael is an only child, and when his mother is working, he is watched by his elderly grandmother. Working full-time as a registered nurse on the night shift, Jessica hardly has any time to spend with Michael as she does not see him often due to the hours that she works. Due to this, Michael has turned to his tablet and video games to keep him occupied. When Jessica accepted the night shift position, this is when Michael started to rely on technology to entertain him. Since Michael started playing games every day, all day, he has been having issues with school due to him not completing homework assignments, and he has been aggressive towards his elderly grandmother when she tries to take his tablet or games away. What are some of the behavioral issues at home and in school and how can this be addressed?
