Chapter 15: Case Study Research: The Child in Context

Sung Kook said he had three close male friends and they spent most break times playing soccer. He reported that he often had friends over to play at home. His mother said that he had adapted easily to school in Australia because he was so young. She suggested he was learning social skills such as sharing through play and explicit teaching. She said, “I like talking to the other mothers after school” as other parents gave her positive feedback about Sung Kook’s achievements. (Millar, 2011 p. 14)
