A Child Needs a Family: Kirill D., born in 2008

July 16, 2014, 13:00 6647 Author: Tatiana Babenko, translated by Izabella Balakirsky www.deti.zp.ua Kirill likes to play with the mirror and tries very hard to see his reflection in it. Profile # 0058657

Kirill is always happy to meet new people, and immediately wins people over with his sincere smile. This little boy is very good-natured to everyone who comes to visit him and pays attention to him, he gives the gift of his affection, and responds to kindness with kindness. At this time, that is the only way Kirill can express his emotions.

Kirill is a special-needs child. He is very friendly and is ready to "talk" by making sounds to anybody about anything. He especially likes playing with other children on the mat. The teachers remark that this boy is very calm and non-confrontational, although at times, if he's not in the mood, he can start scattering toys around. Thankfully, such occasions are rare, and the majority of the time, Kirill is very friendly.

He needs a special approach, but the teachers say that he is promising, for example, his grasp reflex is getting much stronger recently.
