Andrew will benefit from a family who will accept him and show him what unconditional love feels like. He needs to feel safe and protected. Andrew's family will provide physical and emotional nurture. Andrew will do best in a two-parent home, with a strong male role-model. He will do best if he is the youngest child where he can model other children. He will thrive with parents who are structured and maintain a good daily routine. They should be patient and provide him with praise when he does something well, and consistent redirection when he breaks a rule. He would love to have a family who is active and encourages him to participate in activities that will improve his self-esteem and social skills.
