                     K. SUMMARY:
          -My child client John Michael also known as JM, he is an 8 years old child and his problem is being aggressive and naughty at school but behave at home. It is because he imitated this behavior to his brother. And he is behave at home, because he is afraid of his mother, if he did something wrong his mother will scold him. And another problem is sometimes saying bad words; he imitated it from his parents when he was a young and also to his peers while they are playing. And the theory that is related to this problem is the Social Learning theory of Albert Bandura.  

CONCLUSION:
                   - I therefore conclude that my client child JM was able to attain all
Of my KSA objectives. He develops a good interaction between his playmates.




RECOMMENDATION:
                   -I recommend to his mother and eldest brother to guide JM and do not always scold him. They should also be a role model to him, not a bad role model but a good role model. They should eliminate the negative behavior that JM can produce.



      L. IMPLICATION  TO  EDUCATION :
          -We all know that many children are having a behavior problem and that behavior can be change. As a future educator our role is to be the second parent of our student, we must know what their problem is and help them to solve it. We are here to guide them and teach them what is right. We are the one who molds them.
