The 5 Needs in Life Series
Did you know that all people have five basic needs?
Children, teens and adults all have the same five needs, but how we get our needs met is an ongoing process and our behaviors are often a reflection of those needs being met or unmet.
The 5 Needs in Life series can help you understand more about yourself and others. Each workbook helps identify the five needs and challenges you to examine your behaviors and reactions, while encouraging good communication skills and self-awareness. There are five workbooks that can help a variety of different age groups:
My Needs: Little Ones Have Needs Too is for preschoolers.
Mom's Have Needs is for mothers (a father’s guide will be added).
Kids Have Needs for younger elementary children.
We All Have Needs for older elementary ages.
People of All Ages Have Needs for preteen and teens
These workbooks can be used in a variety of settings - schools, small groups, office team development, family activities. Before you try to teach it, learn it, do a workbook for yourself. You may be surprised by what you discover!
Annual membership programs for the 5 Needs are also available.
