child story
Caroline
Caroline is 15 years old and has Cri du Chat syndrome
Her favourite colours are purple and pink
Her favourite animals are rabbits
Her favourite toy is a hopping rabbit
She enjoys doing jigsaw puzzles and playing with her pram and dolls
She has no pets of her own, but she is very attached to her respite carer’s dog, Fyn
She laughs when they sing songs with the wrong words and enjoys making up nursery rhymes
Her family are proud of her get up and go attitude, her everyday learning progress and for just being herself
Caroline is still a very sociable girl, who enjoys interacting with people - young and old. There’s a teenager creeping through at times, but she still very much enjoys all younger child things, like TV programmes, Peppa Pig, Dora, Ben and Holly
