Children have a hierarchy of needs that must be fulfilled from "summary" of His Needs, Her Needs for Parents by Willard F. Harley Jr.
Children have a hierarchy of needs that must be fulfilled. At the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs are the physiological needs that must be met for a child to survive and thrive. These include food, water, shelter, and clothing. Once these basic needs are met, children move on to their safety needs. They need to feel secure in their environment and have a sense of stability and predictability in their lives.
As children grow and develop, their social needs become more prominent. They need to feel loved and accepted by their family and peers. They also need to feel a sense of belonging and connection to others. Without these social needs being met, children can struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
In addition to their social needs, children also have emotional needs that must be fulfilled. They need to feel valued and appreciated for who they are. They need to have their feelings acknowledged and validated. When their emotional needs are not met, children can experience low self-esteem and struggles with their mental health.
Finally, children have higher-level needs related to their cognitive and intellectual development. They need opportunities to learn and grow, to explore their interests and talents, and to develop their critical thinking skills. These cognitive needs are essential for children to reach their full potential and become successful adults.
In order to support children in meeting their hierarchy of needs, parents must be attuned to their children's needs and responsive to their emotional and developmental milestones. By creating a nurturing and supportive environment, parents can help their children feel secure, loved, and valued. This, in turn, will help children flourish and thrive as they grow and develop.
