Description
Marcus is a friendly and energetic little boy. Marcus is very inquisitive and wants to know as much as he can. He is particularly interested in animals and how they live. Marcus likes to be active and he enjoys sports, such as basketball, baseball and football. He typically plays these games with his older brother, Jermychael. Marcus is a sensitive boy who feels good about himself when he has followed directions with positive reinforcement. Marcus is very expressive and he thrives on positive attention. As most boys his age, Marcus does need redirection and guidance in making positive choices for himself. He behaves very well when he has boundaries set in a consistent and nurturing manner. Marcus is outgoing and has a very playful personality. He has friends at school which can take priority over focusing on his schoolwork. Marcus does need help dealing with his frustration. He is bonded with his siblings. He is a typical little brother and he is dependent on them. Marcus is a sweet and loving little boy who will thrive with exposure to a variety of activities and appropriate developmental stimulation.
Jerkyma, Jermychael and Marcus have remained together since their initial placement and they depend on each other. Their sibling interactions are typical of children of their age. Jerkyma and Jermychael are close and they enjoy playing with Marcus when he is being cooperative. They each like to have their own way and this fact can create a challenging environment at times. At the same time, they enjoy playing and spending time together. Jermychael and Marcus have improved their relationship by finding common interests such as basketball, baseball and football. The three of them often enjoy just hanging out and watching TV or playing games. It is common to find them outside running, playing and climbing. As they have grown older, Jerkyma has begun to set herself apart as the sister and not just one of the boys. She enjoys dressing up and, Jermychael (though Jerkyma's twin) likes to be the big brother and is very proud of her. Marcus can be quite bold and strong-willed and often these characteristics are frustrating to Jerkyma and Jermychael, especially Jerkyma. Jermychael tends to be more patient with Marcus than Jerkyma is. Jermychael is the protective sibling of the group and he takes the lead of Jerkyma and Marcus. These children have the endearing quality of sticking together despite the stressors which have resulted from their situation. Jerkyma, Jermychael and Marcus need the security of a permanent family which can help them rebuild their trust. They can truly thrive when they are given the opportunities to express themselves in a nurturing environment created by unconditional love.
A family that could best meet Marcus' needs would be a family that is willing to devote the time to guide him in appropriate behavior when he is upset. He requires a nurturing and consistent environment, preferably with his brother and sister.
