LSU-loving Eleven-year-old Enjoys Being Creative

In addition to watching football, eleven-year-old Craig enjoys playing it too.

Craig's vivacious, active nature is sure to keep any family on their toes. As seen in the photo, Craig is a die hard fan of the Louisiana State University Tigers! He loves watching any team that plays against LSU, and he adamantly defends his favorite players on the team and the coach. This eleven-year-old enjoys playing football too and hopes one day to play on a professional team.

Despite Craig's need to express his own wishes even when it opposes the adults around him, he has the ability to negotiate and compromise when given positive reinforcement and/or rewards for good behavior. Craig also has a creative side that involves drawing and building things. On a rainy day, when Craig is given the proper equipment, he can put together an amateur masterpiece that has the potential to make any family proud to call him their son. 

Craig does well academically and follows the direction of teachers without resistance most of the time. Like many other teens, Craig enjoys video games, outdoor activities and lots of attention and praise. Craig also enjoys fishing and has no problem eating lots of it once cooked, as he has a healthy appetite.

If your family does not mind the challenges that come with molding an active, handsome boy with lots of charisma, please do not hesitate to inquire about Craig.
