Our daughter Anani is being evaluated for a slight Executive Function at our request. The twins are well behaved nine year olds who are very socially conscious, especially for their age. The global environment and human rights are important to them. Anani is not having academic difficulty yet, but in preparation for the rigors that lay ahead in fourth grade, we noticed her ability to keep things in order needs some guidance. She is easily distracted, but easily redirected and we have no behavioral issues with either child outside the normal issues nine year possess. They have also had close, long lasting and bonded relationships with the sitters we have had. The sitters are still part of our family to this day. We hope for the same with our au pair.
