Cindy is a Grade R learner in Mrs. Hall’s class. Cindy is usually restless and uncooperative in the mornings. She constantly looks at the door and waits anxiously for lunchtime, when she can enjoy the school lunch. After lunch, she seems relaxed and becomes more cooperative. Cindy often takes other learners’ belongings and hides them. There have been several complaints against Cindy that Mrs. Hall had to sort out. Today, Thabo hands over a letter to Mrs. Hall from his father. The letter states that Thabo did not come home with his lunch box the previous day, and he would appreciate it if Mrs. Hall looked into the matter. Mrs. Hall asks the class, but no one seems to know anything about Thabo’s lunch box. Later that day, Cindy’s neighbour arrives with a lunch box, apologises to Mrs. Hall, and says Cindy’s mother said that she came home with a lunch box that does not belong to her. Mrs. Hall thanks the neighbour and returns the lunch box to Thabo, who is overjoyed. Mrs. Hall asks the neighbour to inform Cindy’s mother to come to school to see her. The neighbour informs Mrs. Hall that Cindy’s father is deceased and that her mother has a terminal illness; therefore, she came to school on Cindy’s mother’s behalf. 2.1 Evaluate Cindy’s situation and explain how it may affect her emotional well-being and present potential barriers to her learning and development.
