Harrison

Harrison is a cheeky, loving and energetic one year old. He loves to run around, play chase and has been described as a stunt man as he loves running so much! 

Harrison really enjoys bath time and water play – especially when he gets to splash his carers! He loves this so much that he can get a bit grumpy when bath time has to end! When not running around, he enjoys playing with toys such as vehicles and cars and stacking cups, as well as loving a good nursery rhyme singalong. 

He is a healthy little boy and his development is as expected for a little boy his age.

He has a great appetite and has a variety of favourites, including avocado, watermelon, Yorkshire pudding and sausage and chips! He has a good routine and sleeps well. Whilst he is an active little boy he is also very sociable and loving, and enjoys a cuddle with his carers.

Harrison has been known to social care since before he was born. Both his parents have a history of involvement with social services due to concerns about domestic violence. His birth mum wasn’t able to protect him due to her own needs and understanding. Harrison has siblings who also don’t live with their birth parents. Harrison was placed with his foster carers following discharge from hospital after birth. He has stayed with the same foster carers in this time; and is settled, happy and thriving.

Harrison’s carers say that he is a joy to look after and that he is a content and happy little boy who is happy to go with the flow.

As he is getting older, he has become more independent and found his voice more, so his carers have said that they are having to say ‘no’ more but that he is usually easily pacified if they distract him. They are happy with Harrison’s development and health; they say he is a good eater and sleeper.

Harrison is looking for a one or two parent family. He does not currently live with any other children however he does get along with children in his foster carer’s family and can be placed in a family that already have children. He needs a family who can support him in maintaining links with his birth family, including siblings who have been adopted.
