Woodfords Family Services

Mia is close to her sister, with whom she lives in care, and she is the oldest. She takes care of her sister and ensures that her needs are met. Mia is active and enjoys swimming, jumping on the trampoline, and doing arts and crafts. At her young age, she has impressive independent skills, such as making a sandwich and cooking eggs with supervision. She also knows how to do simple chores, like cleaning her bedroom and vacuuming. Mia is new to her foster home and community, and she wants to explore the area to discover recreational and social opportunities.

Mia is learning to tell time as part of her efforts to catch up on her academics. This skill is essential for her independent living. She often wakes up early in the morning before everyone else and sometimes leaves her bedroom. To help her understand when it's time to get up, a cute hippo alarm clock with both digital numbers and flashing lights would be beneficial.
