Background:
Jonathon is a 10 year old boy who lives in a moderately sized town. He is the only child of Louise and Jack who are both 45 years old. They are both career driven, Louise being an accountant and Jack a professor at the local university. They chose to have Jonathon later on when they were ready to expand their family. They live right down the street from Louise’s father, Jerry. Jonathon has plenty of cousins on both sides of his family, but he is the youngest. The closest relative in age is one of his girl cousins who is 17. They have one cat named Felix, who Jonathon absolutely loves. Jonathon is driven to school by his mother and then picked up by his father every day. He spends his evenings doing homework and playing with his …show more content…
He is also finding out how people can be judged or put into categories based on the way they look or their popularity level. He often doesn’t interact with his peers in his class, but never feels like he is missing out on anything. The other children regard him as a bit of an “outcast”, but he wouldn’t describe it that way. He thinks of him on a different mental level than the rest of them, and he is perfectly content the way things are. Since he was young, he has always had an interest in reading and writing and now considers them as hobbies. He has really been interested in the career path of journalism. Recently he has become way better at putting his thought into words. In school, he is considered an advanced student in both of those subjects. He truly enjoys school, like a lot of his peers, and has no problem paying attention all day. Overall, he is a smart child who is only lacking in the social skills needed to create peer …show more content…
He isn’t easily stimulated visually, but natural colors and natural lighting calms and comforts him. Some learning experiences he thrives in are reading, writing, and science experiments. In PE, he really enjoyed the board game unit and the days that the PE teacher uses the class period as a study hall. His parents have a fairly different policy on electronics from what is the “norm” today. They request that if he wants to watch something on TV or a movie other than those picked out by his parents (educational movies, nightly news, etc), he just needs to give a reason for wanting to watch it. He tries to get about 60 minutes of physical activity daily, even though he isn’t the best at it. He often bikes or walks to his local library on the weekends. He loves spending time outside, he has a small garden that he and his mom take care of throughout the spring and summer months. One of his favorite pastimes is spending time with his mom’s father, his Grandpa Jerry. On Sunday mornings, they always do the crossword
