Emotional needs drive children's behavior and actions from "summary" of His Needs, Her Needs for Parents by Willard F. Harley Jr.

Children are not tiny robots programmed to follow our commands. Instead, they are human beings with their own set of emotional needs that drive their behavior and actions. It is essential for parents to recognize and understand these emotional needs in order to effectively communicate and connect with their children. When children feel loved, valued, and understood, they are more likely to exhibit positive behavior and cooperate with their parents. On the other hand, when their emotional needs are not met, they may act out, throw tantrums, or withdraw from their parents. It is crucial for parents to pay attention to their children's emotional cues and respond with empathy and compassion. Children often express their emotional needs through their behavior. For example, a child who is feeling neglected may seek attention by misbehaving or throwing a tantrum. By addressing the underlying emotional need for attention, parents can help their child feel secure and loved. Similarly, a child who is feeling anxious or scared may exhibit clingy behavior, seeking comfort and reassurance from their parents. By understanding and meeting their children's emotional needs, parents can build a strong and trusting relationship with them. This bond of trust is essential for healthy emotional development and overall well-being. When children feel secure and loved, they are more likely to thrive and succeed in all areas of their lives.
  1. Emotional needs play a significant role in driving children's behavior and actions. By recognizing and addressing these needs, parents can create a supportive and nurturing environment for their children to grow and flourish. It is through empathy, understanding, and love that parents can truly connect with their children and help them reach their full potential.
