But how do you identify needs and how to meet those needs on your own?

Seriously, i think thats what the early childhood years are supposed to be about. You learn to discern your physical needs, first. Eating and pooping. Then playing. I havent gotten that far yet. Im pretty good at pooping, im getting better at eating and sleeping. Next - play by myself, then play dates! Anyway, somewhere along the line, you learn to discern when something isnt right, when something hurts. And to take action. These are all lessons we missed. Pretty basic. Easy to overlook.
