To whom this may concern,
I am a student at Leeds Metropolitan University in my last year of a
degree course in playwork. As part of my module I have to e-mail a
practitioner and explain a case study of a child who I worked with.
I know two sisters who live across the road from me and they both
constantly fight with one another. Cameron is the oldest and Paramdeep the
younger sister. They are both always interrupting each other when both
speaking to their mum, saying i was talking first and shout and push each
other to get to speak first. They are both of similar age and are both very
competitive. They literally fight about everything, such as, watching
television, games, food, presents and its on going. The mother also gets
very frustrated and shouts at them back
What i feel is happening here is that both children are competing for
approval from the mother. Most recently twin boys came into the family and
the girl’s lives have become disrupted. The girls lives are not of the
average child at their age, they have to help with cooking and cleaning and
do their own homework. The mother has no time for Cameron and Paramdeep
anymore, but when she does give that slight bit of attention, they both
want it. They both feel frustrated and take it out on one another.
A solution to this problem, which might help is that, both children write
their of the story. This would be an excellent way to help both girls deal
with their feelings towards one another. they could write their stories and
then read it to each other and discuss how they feel.
I would like some input on the solution to the problem, do you think this
is the right solution.
Thank you, for your attention in this matter.
