[quote=Anonymous]I carry around water bottles for myself and my charges. If you have it available immediately when she asks and offer every 15-30 minutes, she'll drink more. As to reading, I read aloud from picture-less books while kids are playing, then I read picture books and discuss plot, setting and foreshadowing (age-appropriate!) when they are interested in active listening. Because reading is such a common thing for us, we switch 20+ books per week at the library, and the book slots are fun for them. I'm completely with you on using your time off to plan! I've always done the same, I don't know how we would accomplish our goals if I didn't! [/quote]
