Tyler
WAITING CHILD SPOTLIGHT
Get your track shoes on to keep up with Tyler. This active young lad loves riding his
bike, hiking, and anything else outdoors. “He loves nature and exploring,” says one of
Tyler’s close adults. He enjoys spreading his knowledge to others and taking them on
adventures with him through the woods.” Tyler takes time to slow down, too. He
enjoys playing card games, putting puzzles together, watching TV—especially cartoons
and movies—and reading books.
“Tyler generally approaches new activities or crafts with a positive and enthusiastic
approach,” says one of the people who cares about him. “He enjoys meeting new
people and having conversations. He loves to be busy doing something and makes the
most of every moment.”
