STEP 8: Crafting your parenting case study.

The current case involves a three-year-old child who has since displayed numerous emergent behavioral concerns, most of which can be linked to high screen usage. As for the characteristics of the family, the family belongs to the middle class, and the child lives in a family where both parents are married. They also have an older child – a 5-year-old with no problem observed in his behavior. Both parents are employed, and to keep their children occupied during the weekdays, most television programs are viewed. Due to aggressive behavior, increased levels of child irritability, non-stop tantrums, and inability to concentrate, the parents worry whether it is the case of spending too much time with devices.

To resolve these problems, a parenting action plan will be created, with home and daycare as critical areas of intervention. The plan will also cover strategies that will try to minimize the time children spend in front of the television or computer at home, reading and playing outdoors and school strategies that will make children interact with one another and do exercises. Community support groups will also be explored to provide resources and guidance for parents navigating similar challenges. In so doing, it is hoped that the reduced screen time and the effects on the child’s behavior will be addressed.
