SECTION B
JOINING PROCESS
• For me to become my case study more effective I asked the parents of Josh if they are going to allow me conduct an interview. Connecting with the family is the key for me to get more information to know each family member. I ask some questions and encourage each family member to participate. As a friend of the family, I respect their own opinion and accept their own point of view. Understanding is one of the reasons why this case study becomes successful. Participation of each member of the family also helps me to know the problem of Josh.
SECTION C
PRESENTING THE PROBLEM
• According to his mother, Josh is a thoughtful and loving child but in the other side, he is very emotional every time his parents are not around. It is hard for him to catch up with his lesson, especially when his mother teaches him. If he thinks that, he cannot understand he will cry. Moreover, when they have an exam it is hard for him to sleep because he always thinks about what he reviews. And according to his teacher when it comes to school he has a difficulty in interpreting Filipino language, in manipulative skill he can draw but he has a lack of self confidence because he thinks that his drawing is not good enough.

SECTION E
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Based on the presenting the problem you can see that Josh is very emotional child.
Social and Emotional Development
Psychologists interested in social and emotional development focus on relationships, the growth of social skills and social understanding, and the influence of the social world on emotional life. Social relationships begin with the attachments that infants develop with their caregivers. Social life expands considerably with the growth of peer relationships in childhood, romantic relationships in adolescence, marriage and child-rearing in adulthood, and friendships in the workplace, neighborhood, and elsewhere. The people in a person’s social world—parents, relatives, friends, and others—help to shape that person’s emotional life. They provide infants with a sense of security, provoke the first feelings of pride, shame, guilt, or embarrassment in young children, and offer experiences of nurturance, conflict, and love at all ages.
The importance of social relationships to the regulation of emotion is a topic that interests developmental scientists across the life course. A baby depends on caregivers to manage his or her distress, and children learn to manage emotions by seeking assistance and talking about their feelings with trusted adults. Adolescents rely on their peers for emotional understanding, and adults maintain emotional well-being through supportive friendships, especially in later life. Researchers are exploring these social influences on emotion regulation in observational studies of people of all ages, and through interviews with children, adolescents, and adults about how they manage their feelings.
ERIK ERICKSON (The 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development)
Ego Development Outcome: Trust vs. Mistrust
Basic strength: Drive and Hope
Erikson also referred to infancy as the Oral Sensory Stage (as anyone might who watches a baby put everything in her mouth) where the major emphasis is on the mother's positive and loving care for the child, with a big emphasis on visual contact and touch. If we pass successfully through this period of life, we will learn to trust that life is basically okay and have basic confidence in the future. If we fail to experience trust and are constantly frustrated because our needs are not met, we may end up with a deep-seated feeling of worthlessness and a mistrust of the world in general.
Incidentally, many studies of suicides and suicide attempts point to the importance of the early years in developing the basic belief that the world is trustworthy and that every individual has a right to be here.
Not surprisingly, the most significant relationship is with the maternal parent, or whoever is our most significant and constant caregiver.
- in this stage Josh are not fully develop because he has a great family attachment. it is not easy for him to trust with the people around him and it also affect his self confidence.
Some people believe that self-confidence can be built with affirmations and positive thinking. At Mind Tools, we believe that there's some truth in this, but that it's just as important to build self-confidence by setting and achieving goals – thereby building competence. Without this underlying competence, you don't have self-confidence: you have shallow over-confidence, with all of the issues, upset and failure that this brings.
Prognosis
- Based on section A to section E we can see the problem of Josh, on how he act and what he do. His emotional maturity is not fully developed because he has a great family attachment that is why it is hard for him to stay alone when it comes to school, in academic skills he has a difficulty in Filipino subject in interpreting a short literature and in manipulative skills he can draw but he has a lack of self confidence he thinks that is not good enough of what he is doing. I think Josh has a low self-esteem. That is why it affect his manipulative skills.
- This overlaps with the idea of self-esteem, which is a more general sense that we can cope with what's going on in our lives, and that we have a right to be happy. Partly, this comes from a feeling that the people around us approve of us, which we may or may not be able to control. However, it also comes from the sense that we are behaving virtuously, that we're competent at what we do, and that we can compete successfully when we put our minds to it.

Section K
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation
Summary
- Emotional Maturity implies controlling your emotions rather than letting your emotions get the better of you. Your emotional maturity depicts your capacity to manage and to check your emotions, to evaluate others’ emotional state and to persuade their judgment and actions. A person’s emotional maturity is very much influenced by his/ her relationship history. Emotional intelligence makes an important part of life, together with intellectual intelligence and relationship intelligence. Such intelligence can help one to assess emotional maturity and emotional freedom. And there are many ways how to develop emotional maturity.
How to Develop Emotional Maturity
Anyone can develop emotional maturity in oneself by keeping a track of certain points, given as follows.
· Work hard to achieve your goals. Life is not a fairy tale where magic wands do wonders.
· Start accepting your tensions and worries. Don’t avoid it just to get momentary relief. Work over your stress and anxiety, and handle them.
· Start recognizing and expressing your anger. Otherwise, you’ll become afraid of yourself after a certain point of time.
· Learn to bear pain and hurt because life is full of uncertainties. You never know what lies in store for you.
· Face the consequences of the things you’ve done. Understand your responsibility and learn from your mistakes.
· Learn to accept your failures and engage yourself in better actions. Keep a positive approach and be helpful to others.
· Make your own viewpoint from your feelings. Comprehend that the world is really big and one can actually not identify with the things, people.
- Building self-confidence is readily achievable, just as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll do to build self-confidence will also build success – after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No-one can take this away from you!
Conclusion
I therefore conclude that in every problem there is always a solution. And as a future educator we need to know and understand their problems. Most educators agree that children's emotional well-being contributes greatly to their social and intellectual development. However, adults have traditionally denied children's feelings by saying things such as, "You shouldn't feel that way!" or "You'll be fine. Forget it." Negating children's strong emotions can result in fearfulness, confusion, shame and resentment, which can interfere with their learning. When negative emotions are suppressed, they usually resurface and cause problems. Children who are taught to identify, express, and cope positively with their feelings develop useful life skills.
Human beings experience a variety of emotions that cannot be categorized as right or wrong. What is important is how children handle their feelings. Children learn by observing the significant others in their lives. Adults who honestly express their feelings in constructive ways foster children's emotional growth. When educators model self-understanding and emotional maturity, their students are more likely to do the same. And we are the one also who build the self confidence of our students so we must have knowledge on how are we going to help our students. And assessing child is just so easy it takes a big effort and many strategies to use on how are we going to cope the problem of our students. we must know their background, his environment and the people around him for you to understand and know your students.

Section L
Implication to Education and Assessment of young Children
As a future educator it is important for us to know how we are going to assess the different behavior of our students. We must respect and accept their opinions. We must know that each child is not exactly the same to the other. They are individually unique, they have different skills and abilities.So we are the one who guide our students in the right path of their journey. We enhance their knowledge and skills and serve as a role model in teaching the good manner and right conduct because we are not only teaching the child hoe to read and write but we need also teach them the right behavior they need to learn and know. And the future of our students depends on us, so we need to choose an appropriate assessment to young children...
