Harry

Harry is three-years old and full of energy, character and curiosity. He has an excellent arm for throwing a ball and loves to play catch.

He is quite particular in his interests as he has his favourites, these include toys that flash or make noises as they fascinate him and his little senses. Same when he watches the super-fast formula one cars on the tv… the way they zoom across the screen totally intrigues him.

Harry quite likes his own company as he is pretty wonderful; but he is learning to let others in more. He loves singing but he is still learning to use his voice which can be a little frustrating at times when he wants to communicate in positive ways but can’t always work out how to. Kind adult help is really important to Harry.

Harry needs a little extra help to learn, as he has missed out on really good care and has some gaps to fill, but his foster carer is really proud of where he has got to since living with her. He is currently being monitored and supported for global development delay by paediatrics, SALT and OT teams.

Harry is described as just the cutest little boy with thick brown floppy hair and big blue eyes which are enhanced by his glasses. His foster carer says he is lovely, affectionate and cuddly.

He is joyful, affectionate and energetic; happy and gorgeous with a bright, contagious smile!

Harry’s foster carer has looked after him for a year now and has seen him make wonderful progress through her consistent and committed care giving. Whilst he continues to need support; he is strides ahead in his development and relationships than he was when he first came to live with them which gives us real hope for continued progression with the right family for him.

Harry needs a family who can confidently care for him throughout his childhood, help him to feel safe and secure within any new home and who can have compassion and empathy to support him through such big changes; a family who have the patience and insight to support his development and relationship building to help him become a happy, healthy, secure little boy.

He has lived with both male and female carers and older children and pet cats. He will need lots of good time and attention to help him feel safe and invested in, so it is important any parents have plenty of capacity if other children are in the home.
