Danny: Chantelle starts telling you that Danny's teachers have found Danny can't settle on a task and is easily distracted. At home, he has difficulty going to sleep and then wakes early. Last week he said he wanted to live with his Dad.
Chantelle says she is in debt and worries she will have to find a cheaper house to rent and says she's worried this will uproot the children. She volunteers that she knows people judge her for being a single parent with kids that have different Dad's. It's important for her to be in control; the kids have always had routines for eating and sleeping and helping with household chores. It is very important to her that the house is spotlessly clean and well organised. She provides the children with up to date electronic equipment as she doesn't want them to be socially excluded. Chantelle presents as intelligent but left school without qualifications when she got pregnant with Rianna. Rianna asks but Chantelle finds it difficult to help her with some exam subjects. She works flexible hours selling a range of makeup and her Dad watches the children when she is at work.
Thomas is Chantelle's father who has always been around in the children's lives and helps out when asked.
Rhianna did very well academically at primary school and now she seems to be losing interest. Chantelle feels that Rianna isn't making an effort because she's lazy although Rianna says it's really hard to do as well as the others. Rianna has begun to experience male attention and has spoken to mum about bringing home a boy.
