NR602: PBL Case Discussion: Issues in Growth and Behavior
Today you note that Kayla is back with Jo for behavioral issues.
HPI: Kayla (mom) is back to visit with Jo, the 5 & 8/12 year-old female child. She is here for complaints of behavioral difficulties and poor performance in school. Mother reports since moving back in with her parents that Jo has become increasingly emotional and ‘clingy’. The mother reports that she has always been needier than her siblings. However, since the move and starting kindergarten, others have commented on difficulties in behavior, difficulty leaving her at school, and the inability of the mother to leave without Jo when she goes out because she refuses to stay with her grandparents.
