Maian
Birth date: March 1997
Ethno-Cultural Background: Asian
Words like active and busy or sensitive and affectionate describe Maian, and although they seem to be opposites, they all describe this likeable boy!
Maian absolutely loves school. He totally enjoys reading and excels in spelling and math. Maian is currently meeting grade level expectations, if not excelling in many academic areas. He is very athletic, and particularly good at gymnastics as he is very flexible. Maian also likes being silly sometimes!
Maian enjoys being with his peers, but craves their acceptance. This often results in Maian following the lead of his peers to be accepted. With adult guidance, he is able to be more successful when relating to peers. In one on one interactions, and with adults, Maian does very well. He responds very well to structure and clear boundaries.
Maian would do best in a home with older or no other children. As mentioned, he requires clear boundaries, structure and routine, but at the same time, he also requires nurturing and positive feedback as he is quite sensitive too. Finally, Maian has siblings with which he may want to remain in contact. A family that could support this ongoing contact would be best.
