When we returned from Christmas holiday we did a social studies mini-unit about needs. We discussed the basic needs all people have for food, air, water, shelter, clothing and safety. Then we talked about how once your basic needs are met, you need to meet your emotional needs to feel happy. The emotional needs are Belonging, Freedom, Power (feeling good at something), and Fun. We talked about a different emotional need each day, and brainstormed ways we could fill that need. We discussed how everyone fills their needs in different ways, but we need to make sure that they way we fill our needs doesn’t hurt anyone else.
