Beau Chandler MF4 Brain and Behaviour
Activity
Tutorial
Beau is a 3-year-old boy, the youngest of three children. His father manages a local bank and his mother is a stay-at-home mom. He has two older sisters, Theresa age 7 and Gracie age 9. His parents are in their late 30s. Beau is the focus of the entire family's attention and the apple of everyone's eye. His sisters behave like 2 additional mothers, to the point that they anticipate his every need. His parents have even noted that his language development seemed slightly slower than his sisters' as he did not need to use language to have his needs met. He now speaks well but it just seemed to be slower than his sisters (who his mother described as early talkers). Beau's mother's pregnancy was unexpected but welcomed. The pregnancy was uneventful with no history of substance use. Beau was full term and the delivery was uneventful. Beau was a cute and cuddly infant. He breastfed well and developed predictable routines for both sleeping and feeding. He appears quite adaptable. For instance, when family visits other family or friends, Beau smiles, plays and amiably engages children and adults alike. He has even slept well at these homes if needed. He needed only his favourite blanket in those situations to assist him with settling down to sleep.
