At just 7½ years old, Wren already shines with a bright spark for learning and caring for others. She loves reading picture books with the help of phonics, counting money when shopping, and takes pride in learning her 9s multiplication tables. But more than anything, Wren knows one very important thing about herself: she wants gentle parents.
A Warm and Caring Spirit
Wren has been diagnosed with ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome, and she’s working hard to navigate some really big feelings. She thrives when adults encourage her with praise and celebrate her accomplishments. Motivated by small rewards and her natural competitive spirit, Wren listens well when reminded to slow down. A calm, quiet environment helps her feel safe and grounded.
Her big heart shines through in her love for helping younger children. With a strong sense of justice, Wren notices when someone is struggling and makes sure they get the support they need by finding an adult.
The Simple Joys
Wren’s favorite things are simple yet meaningful - strawberry-flavored treats, lending a hand around the house, and listening to soft music before bedtime. At night, she often talks quietly to herself as she drifts off to sleep, comforted by knowing an adult is nearby.
The Right Family for Wren
Wren will thrive with parents who are patient, understanding, and trauma-informed-parents who will honor her request for gentleness. She needs caregivers who can walk with her through the challenges of big emotions while cherishing the sweet moments, like when she gestures for a hug.
