Case Study: Early Child Cognitive Development

I think this case also connects to the early childhood CAP group as well. Linda is certainly worried about if her child will become the potential victim of child abuse from her husband. I think Linda made the decision definitely based on the factors contributing to early child cognitive development that have been presented by the early childhood development CAP group, especially on the parents figure attachment. Linda told me no matter how many extra jobs she has to work after the divorce, she will still hold on to the custody of her child. Also, I think is equally important to consider the influence her husband has over her child after their child dropped out of school due to the father wasting the money on drugs. This connects back to …show more content…

For example, one of my group members was always saying all five of us which always excluded me in their conversation and sometimes in our CAP planned meeting. Based on this situation, I have talked to my members to try to at least be involved with their interview work. And at the same time, I asked them why were they always separating me from some of the off-campus group activity. Most of my group members explained that they just try to distribute the work more efficiently and avoid the embarrassing moment that in fact with English as my second language, my current skills may be challenging to set up the interview with clients. On the other hand, I still insisted my argument that if I do not have chance to complete any interview with clients, my CAP project will not be completed. Even if I can only work on one interview, I will still have a better experience with the
