Hey along with asking for what they need, maybe going and actually getting a non expensive soft bear or maybe a soft blanket...maybe make a box that is pretty and things you give to you little ones. Something there very own maybe.
I know when things were really hard with my parts knowing I had something all my own really helped and knowing someone inside gave it to me meant even more. I used to be one of the parts that needed help, now I get to be the one helping my inside parts too. Way to go for you getting to know your parts.
Good Luck and if you ever need to talk your welcome to PM me

your friend, Crew
