Conclusion
Arthur, a 12 year old is going through adolescence resulting in decline in academic performance
and sleep deprivation for which he needs special care and attention (PDF, 2017). Behavior
problems are commonly observed during adolescence and parents’ concerns regarding the same
are attracted by school teachers who spend more time with children than parents. The threats and
limitations to the validity and reliability of results include the ways to analyze results, biasness of
the evaluator, sample size collected. More tests can be conducted to know his interests etc., his
favorite food etc. proper bedding etc. Child is facing the difficult phase of adolescence and needs
special care and attention.
Recommendations
Sufficient information was provided by the client. Child may be taught about the transitional
period between childhood and adulthood. He should be engaged in activities with his interest
(Ginsburg, et al., 2016). The current research depicts a child suffering from psychological issues
due to his adolescent age. Listening to his problems, resolving queries and meeting all his
demands can help him pass this age smoothly and happily. As per test results, recommendations
are evident and result oriented.
Reflection
I took this project on priority as I have been through this stage in my childhood. I tried to be
friendly with the client and made sure he answers my questions without any hesitation or fear.
Sleep deprivation is most alarming and needed cure on priority. Sudden lack of interest in studies
is important evidence which needed relief. Information about his friends, movements, food
habits etc. would benefit more and discussion with his parents/teachers and friends would meet

the requirement. The study investigated the impact of sleep deprivation and other several aspects
of behavior relating problems in children in early adolescence. We must take good care of
children during this age as they need special attention and care from their near and dear ones.
