Julia is the only child of a professional couple

Julia is the only child of a professional couple. Her father is an engineer and her mother is a litigation lawyer who often works long hours. The couple has a stressful lifestyle, and it appears that the stress is reflected in Julia’s care. Sometimes Julia would be driven to one or another babysitter’s homes
at the last minute, when something urgent arises that the couple must attend to. There is very little family time. Unfortunately, their relatives do not live
in the same city, and there is little social support for Julia on a day-to-day basis. The parents were hoping that the daycare center would be helpful, but
so far that has proven to be another issue for Julia. She does not want to participate in activities there and has lots of temper tantrums. She does not
play well with other children. Julia had been toilet trained but has now lost her toilet training and is using diapers again. Julia’s mother started
smoking again due to the recent stress; Julia keeps her up at night, and she is having difficulty dealing with Julia’s multiple issues at home and at the
daycare center.
