Case Study

Eight-year-old Justin usually walks to the bus stop at the corner of his neighborhood to catch the school bus. Lately, he complains that he doesn’t feel well and doesn’t want to go to school, or he takes so long to get ready for school that he misses the bus and his mother has to drive him to school. His mother states that it seems like he wants to miss the bus and be driven to school. After further investigation, his parents decide that Justin is reluctant to walk to the bus stop. Later on, he relates that at the bus stop, an older boy is bullying him.
