The child is an active energetic young lady with lots of enthusiasm, she loves to swing, climb, jump, dance. Some of her favourite things include colouring in, music, teddies and Pokémon. She is a friendly, chatty individual who prefers to know what is happening around her, what the routine will be and when she will be taking part.
