Butler is a bright, confident, and willing young boy who demonstrates a strong desire to learn and understand the world around him. He possesses a significant amount of knowledge and awareness for his age. Butler has been in foster care since the age of three due to his parents’ mental health challenges and substance use, which resulted in the Division taking him into custody. Since being placed in care, he has made significant progress and accomplished many goals at a young age. He has developed an understanding of age-appropriate life skills and is learning what healthy routines, responsibilities, and expectations look like. Butler has also made progress in identifying and utilizing coping skills when he becomes frustrated, upset, or overwhelmed. Rather than acting out immediately, he is learning to pause, recognize his emotions, and use appropriate coping strategies to manage his feelings. These accomplishments demonstrate his ability to learn, grow, and develop positive skills when provided with consistency, structure, support, and encouragement
