Chris is a likeable 9 year old who enjoys having that one to one attention with adults.  He can be guarded about sharing his feelings but is also described as quick witted."  He has a good sense of humour and is bright.  He is also strong willed and because of such sometimes has difficulties with his friends.  Chris has also been known to challenge and defy adults at times.  He can be unsure in how to engage with peers however he is constantly talking and engaging with his foster parents.

Chris likes to try new things but can get frustrated.  When  he is committed, however, he easily perseveres. Chris is very healthy and has no academic delays. Chris would benefit from a family who is able to commit a great deal of time and attention to him to help develop a healthy attachment.  He requires structure and clear expectations for his behaviours as well as calm support to make the right decisions.  Chris wants a mother figure and would do best as an only child or as the youngest child with much older siblings.
