The Case Study Considerations Mr. Weston should consider the social interaction ability of Alana because she exhibits aloofness and becomes aggressive easily. Examining the cause of the withdrawnness and aggressiveness that Alana exhibits is critical as it helps Mr. Weston to understand her condition. Social interaction has significant benefits to children because it does not only promote learning, but also encourages development of life social skills. Humans are social beings and thus they must have effective social skills for effective interaction. Psychologists define socialization as “the process whereby people acquire the rules of behavior and systems of beliefs and attitudes that equip a person to function effectively as a member of a particular society” (Romanowski, 2006, p. 126). Therefore, Mr. Weston should consider the ability of Alana to interact with other children in a bid to help her to interact well. Mr. Weston should consider the socioeconomic status of Alana’s parents to help her to overcome her condition. Mr. Weston has repeatedly requested her parents to attend the parent-teacher conference, but they have neither attended nor replied to the invitation. In this view, Mr. Weston should find out what makes the parents not to attend the conference. After probing Alana, Mr. Weston realized that while her father is too busy with work and cannot risk attending the conference without being sacked, the mother is also busy taking care of the other children. Moreover, the family is contemplating being homeless due an impeding eviction. These socioeconomic factors complicate Alana’s situation, and thus Mr. Weston should consider them in helping Alana overcome the problems. Bradley and Corywyn (2002) assert that socioeconomic factors have multilevel impacts on individuals, families, and neighborhood and in this view, Mr. Weston should consider the level of socioeconomic impacts on Alana. Impact on Cognitive Development The social economic status of Alana’s family influences her cognitive development in many ways. Socioeconomic factors such as income, education, and occupation “are associated with better parenting, which in turn affects school achievement via skill-building activities and school behavior” (Bradley & Corywyn, 2002). Given that her mother is unable to read and his father is busy at work, most probably Alana will perform dismally in class. Additionally, given that Alana’s family belongs to low socioeconomic class, her cognitive development might be poor, as she does not receive the educational support that children from affluent families get. Moreover, the inability of her parents to attend the parent-teacher conference is an indication of the nature of care that Alana receives in the family. As Alana is one of the students who have the poorest family backgrounds, she cannot afford to acquire essential materials for her studies. Impact on Social Development Socioeconomic status of Alana’s family also has considerable impact on her social development. Alana cries when Mr. Weston seeks to know more about her home and this implies that Alana is experiencing some problems at home. After Mr. Weston examines whether the problems she is experiencing originate from home, school, or both, he realizes that the family has contributed significantly to her situation. The abnormal behavior that Alana exhibits originates from the socioeconomic factors that surround her life. Socioeconomic factors have overwhelming influence on socioemotional
