Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: Taj
Taj is a 6 year old boy who attends the local After School Age Care Service. Taj is a popular child with both the staff and his peers. Taj is usually well behaved at the centre and likes to participate in most centre activities.
After the last school holidays, Taj returned to the service a changed child, he has become aggressive and picks fights with his peers. He has also become aggressive towards the male staff member and speaks inappropriately to fathers collecting their children from the service. Taj has become a loner. His class teacher has approached the after-school hour service, and was concerned as they also were seeing the same behaviours.
Taj has started wearing jumpers and long pants, even on warmer days and refuses to remove any clothing when he shows clear signs of being overheated.
During play, Taj’s jumper became caught on the table and pulled up revealing a mass of red welts and recent burn scarring on his stomach and back area. It has also been noticed that Taj has started drawing explicit sexual pictures.
