What I Need
Welcome to the Adult Interpretation Guide
A gentle guide for noticing, naming, and responding with care.
This guide is here to softly support your understanding of the needs a child might be expressing through the What I Need toolkit. Each category offers a window into different states — from seeking comfort or movement to wanting space, support, sensory input, or connection.
This guide is here to support you, not to judge or correct.
“Feeling safe and understood helps every child feel better.” ❤️
