India "Indy", Alfie and Maci (And Arlo) have been with us for six months and we are pleased to report huge progress!
India and Alfie - the painfully shy siblings are slowly coming out of their shell. We enrolled them at a very small primary school where they were placed into the same class in order to build their confidence and receive good pastoral support. The primary school offer many sports opportunities of which India has just started on the girls football team. Alfie is part of the school's nurture group for children flagged as struggling with their mental health, he enjoys painting and modelling to express himself and has become friends with an Autistic 8 year old boy named Luka. Alfie bonded with Kipper immediately, Kipper can sense when Alfie is uneasy or getting stressed and his calm presence soothes him endlessly - on some difficult days the school allows Alfie to take Kipper in for a few hours.
We make sure that India and Alfie get to spend 1-on-1 time with us to build up a special bond. India jogs every Sunday morning with James, while we enjoy special story time on Wednesday evenings. Alfie has visits from a CAMHs nurse on Saturday afternoons, we meet her in the local park as it's a neutral space and afterwards I take Alfie for a milkshake. Alfie has struggled to bond with James but slowly they are getting to know each other; currently they are enjoying cooking together.
Maci Moo is glowing! She's been attending her siblings' school's nursery to build her social skills and loves going - at the moment she is there three days a week but as her fourth birthday approaches she is getting ready to join in their Reception class. Maci has become fast friends with Winnie and enjoys dressing her up as 'SuperDog' and playing games - she barely keeps still.
Arlo has fitted right in as a member of our furry family; Kipper isn't fussed and lets Arlo run straight into him when he's out in his hamster ball while Minnie is a bit more skittish around him and isn't so sure what to make of the small furry thing speeding around the laminate flooring in a transparent plastic ball! All of the children enjoy having Arlo as a connection to their previous life, he brings lots of smile to their little faces.
