Hi! I’m B and today I will be talking to you about the 5 basic needs made by Abraham Maslow who was a psychologist. Here is what he believed were the 5 basic needs:
We learned about the 5 basic needs but in a different way because it is important to know what you need in every situation. These 5 needs help us to understand ourselves and others and why people behave the way they do. For example, if you are having a hard time making friends then it is good to know that you have a need for love and belonging and use different strategies for how to make them.
Love & Belonging: you are very close with your friends and family and get very upset when friends and family have a fight with you or you lose a friend.
Fun: you always have a way to have fun and you can make a game out of everything. You make a lot of jokes and laugh a lot.
Freedom: you need to have some space and choices. You need to be able to feel what you want, and feel yourself emotions
Power: you are very organized and love planning things and being in control.
Survival: be safe, have shelter and food and water
My primary need is power. This helps me understand why I react the way I do in certain situations.
