In the above case study, it is identified that Ahmed is going to some external problems
that is why the changes have been noticeable for “few weeks”. It is not like the changes shown in
Ahmed has been showing since the start, it can be said that the changes might have happened due
to some external intervention. It can be from being bullied by other children, loosing friendship
with a friend or getting scolded at school, which is very common for children with the same age
as Ahmed. Also showing a sign of isolation states Ahmed is not comfortable sharing his
experiences to the teachers (Newton et al. 2014). This essay sheds light on the case of Ahmed
and provided some counter measures for his issues. These would involve strategies and theories
for children like Ahmed who are withdrawn from the society.
For a seven year old, Ahmed is going through some external issues for which he faces
these problems. For the learners, it is imminent that the development procedure of a child refers
to the growth of psychological and cognitive skills that can lead to competence and
independence. There are signs through which it can be identified what kind of mental state the
child may be going though. For physical complaints, there are traits such as feeling sick or
making frequent absenteeism, for irritability, there are signs of isolation and issues with social
interactions. In case of Ahmed, he has shown signs of irritability along with holding back his
emotions from others. The case study also reflects signs of social anxiety from Ahmed’s end that
makes him reluctant in joining other group activities (Steinberg & Darling, 2017). Social anxiety
is a factor that is very hard to determine in children because most children do not talk about their
feelings with others. The strategy that can be implemented very well in this situation is
interaction through activities such as games or fun sessions that would make the children think
that they are not being questioned rather it is just part of the interaction. Other strategy is the

buddy system by which an older student can pair with a new student make a safe and supportive
environment especially for student like Ahmed. When he goes home, he tells his parents about
the activities he did during his playtime and does not show any sign of holding back or being
isolated. This is an indication that something has changed in the Ecological Microsystems of
Ahmed. The fact that Ahmed was interactive few weeks before suggests that the change in
certainly external and has probably happened inside the school.
Ahmed is a victim to external conflict that has allowed him to confine and withdrawn
from the school. These behaviors are normally noticed in children whenever they are dissatisfied
with their surroundings. Therefore, to create an environment based on physical and social
construct, it would help in the learning process of the children present at school. The classroom
should not only be attractive but also functional. There should be proper learning elements
included such as bulletin boards, black boards and seating, which are the primary requirements
for a social construct. In terms of social environment, it reflects how the classroom would
influence or support in the process of interaction in between young children (Schmitt et al.
2015). It should be noted that a social constructive environment helps in upgrading peer relation
creates or strengthens relation between the teachers and the students. In case of Ahmed, is very
much important to form an environment that would help the teachers in planning activities that
would take initiatives to create activities put them in action.
External agencies also play vital role in the school environment and the learning process
of the children. This would include raising the achievement of the students and enhancing the
process of employability (Adler, 2015). Some of these activities take part outside the school such
as outward courses or talks and discussion on subjects that makes a person socially aware. Some
