guess I'm not the only parent whom his son asks for a glass of water before bed. The funny thing is that this happens time after brushing your teeth. That is, to have the opportunity to drink voluntarily what the wanted. However there is no night that does not repeat the same refrain: "potato water." What happens then? Any sudden dehydration night intricately related to a physiological mechanism? If this were true, why not drink just one minute before in the sink, even when I make this suggestion? It seems evident that the glass contains more than water, perhaps a child's need to feel loved or at least focus until the last moments of their daily work.
On the few occasions when I forget or other, I must admit that I'm out of the room and I test their tenacity thinking, "You should be Forgot?. " I have separated a few feet when the usual requirement thunders down the hall. Smile, go to the kitchen, took a glass and pour water into it. The boy smiles and falling to sleep and probably think, "I want and I am still nursing, has passed the test" or, in the worst case I think that is tame mammal in search of his reward. I prefer to think the first option. What do you think?
