I guide them in putting their needs into language, rather than expecting me to meet their complaints with a solution. For example, "I'm thirsty!" "Is there something you need?" "May I have a drink of water?" As they have gotten older, I then ask them if they are able to take care of what they need on their own. Just one example! Thanks for asking--I enjoy your blogthoughts.
