JB

Center: Lutheran Family Mission
Reporter: Jacqueline L. Montgomery, Student
Date: December 1997
Child’s Age: 6 yrs. 2 months

GENERAL INFORMATION: JB is the oldest of three children (a 9 month old sister and a 3 year old brother). JB talks about his younger sister all the time. JB lives with both his parents, who are not married but are together. JB has a Grandma who lives a couple of blocks away from him, and he goes there every Wednesday after school. He enjoys wrestling (especially with his dad) and he also loves to play video games with his dad.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY/ASSESSMENT: JB is a very independent child, and will only ask for help when he is completely stuck. He gets along very well with pretty much all of his other classmates. He shows many appropriate actions towards others-in helping, sharing, respect, and affection (AR, 10-07, 10-23). In all of the circle time that I have observed he has sat quietly in the circle, not touching anyone, and listens to the teacher. The most significant social aspect of JB, I believe, is his kindness towards others. He expresses himself so much in his facial expressions (AR, 10-07; AR, 11-13; AR, 11-14). He demonstrates a sense of guardianship towards his friends and towards his siblings (AR, 11-13).

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY/ASSESSMENT: JB is a very active little 6 years old. During gym he is running non-stop, and only stops running around when he is told to. He struggles a little in balancing on his left foot (AR, 10-16- ). He enjoys experimenting with how his body can move by jumping, running, kicking, rolling over, and sometimes falling, and he appears to be fairly flexible (AR, 10-23-08). He is always working with his hands, whether it is in writing, coloring, playing with toys, using scissors, gluing, cleaning up, or eating (AR, 10-07, 10-16, 12-02).

    Brian openly holds a negative attitude toward heterosexuality and social conventions of heteronormative relationships (marriages). Talk about his view on Junior (page 60). It would be juvenile not to notice the relationship between Brian and Junior. Junior, his son, symbolizes himself in numerous ways. For one, the name itself represents a bond of unity between the two, genetically, and in this case, emotionally.…

    Aims: In this visit I am going to make some small and big chocolate buns with Ellis.

    The Pigman

    He is a sophomore in a New York City high school. He is terribly dissatisfied with his life and misbehaves in interesting ways to try to give meaning to his own existence. He appears to have great potential and wants to be an actor. Like most teens, he will eventually discover that he, and he alone, makes his life whatever it will become. John is a complicated guy. First of all, he has a real problem with any kind of authority. He is in constant conflict with his father; he lies to his teachers and refers to them as "retarded." In fact, he lies to pretty much everybody, except Lorraine. In school he spends his time setting off firecrackers in the bathroom and playing pranks on substitutes, though he says those days are behind him now. Despite disliking authority figures and school, he's really smart and can get good grades when he wants to. However, more often he uses his intelligence, good looks, and charm to manipulate people. Lorraine tells us that John is "extremely handsome" (2), and John immodestly agrees: "Like Lorraine told you, I really am very handsome and I do have fabulous eyes" (3). John writes that he's "going to be a great actor" (3), and, with his good looks and imagination, we can well believe it. John also has a softer, compassionate side, and thinks deeply about the meaning of life and death. Lorraine tells us that John would be "the last person on earth" (2) to show that he has compassion, and that he pretends he doesn't care about anything in the world. He is only fifteen, but is already a heavy drinker and a heavy smoker. Let's break this down:John and his ParentsJohn does not get along with his parents, especially his father, whom he refers to as "Bore." One of the first things we learn…

    One of the most debated topics about intelligence is how to measure it. Alfred Binet invented the first intelligence test in 1905. The French government had asked Alfred Binet to devise a way to identify those children whose intellectual abilities were so low that they would need special education. The main purpose of an intelligence test is to obtain an objective measure of a child’s intelligence in comparison with all other children of the same age and to predict a child’s future performance. Alfred Binet believed that mental ability matured as the body matured. The original Alfred Binet intelligence tests have been constantly revised. The most famous of these is the Stanford-Binet test.…

    Building good relationships involves time and effort. John Purcell never put any effort into trying to know his son because "most of the time he was too preoccupied with other things to pay much heed to the boy's activities". He never encouraged or supported Johnny and never participated or went to any of his son's events. He did not even know what baseball or swimming team Johnny was on. When the curate, Mr. Redpath, complimented Johnny on his exceptional swimming ability, the father realized that "he seemed to know less about the boy than anyone". However, he made the excuse that his son "was only a twelve-year-old who wanted to be left alone". Because…
