If you happen to have a jungle gym in your backyard, it would be put to good use! Here is a sibling trio that is ready for action. These three children are full of life and potential – if you can provide consistent water and sunshine, these kids could really blossom.
Annie is the oldest and takes her ‘big sister’ role seriously. She is very kind with the younger foster children in her home, and relates well with all adults. She needs to be reminded to be a child herself, and not worry about parenting her younger siblings. Her need to feel in control can sometimes lead to frustration for Annie as she tries to solve problems beyond her years.
Annie’s interests are still very much those of a young girl - she enjoys coloring, reading, and singing, as well as more active pursuits such as swimming and dancing. Annie has made some good friendships in school – as proof she has been invited to many birthday parties! Art, PE and drama are her favourite subjects, and she is mostly on track with her peers developmentally.
Middle child Lance is mischievous and curious and loves to be active outdoors as much as possible. Described as cuddly and talkative, he likes to laugh and be exuberant. He also likes Lego, Playmobile, trucks, books and puzzles, just like many boys his age. A good eye for detail, he is observant and could have the makings of a great artist! Lance can be determined and strong willed, qualities that will serve him well when older, but can sometimes lead to frustration at his age. Lance can get annoyed when he can’t express himself and will ignore adult direction if he gets in a huff! Lance benefits from consistent routines and structure so he knows what to expect in his environment. He is a loving and sensitive boy.
Ruthie, the youngest, is a happy and helpful child who likes arts and crafts and all things princess. She loves to color, cut, paste, and will make creations with paper and whatever tools you give her - preferably dressed in a pink princess costume! She talks about her friends at school and generally gets along well with her peers. She has excellent gross motor skills and likes to try anything new. Bike riding, going for walks or playing on the playground, Ruthie likes to be active as well as creative. She can get frustrated quickly and can scream when things don’t go her way. Overall, however, Ruthie is a sweet and generous youngster who loves to socialize with foster family and friends alike.
Annie, Lance and Ruthie need parents who are knowledgeable about of the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol and drugs. A First Nations family, or a family who can help the children maintain ties to their cultural heritage, would be preferred. The adoptive family should be prepared to work with support services to help these energetic siblings reach their full potential. Openness with the children’s current foster family would be beneficial.
