This workbook addresses the mothers, makers of men and women; we have to meet our own needs in order to help others meet their needs. Often women feel their needs do not matter, but they do. Learning to heal from any past damage and learning to identify the needs we all have will have a positive impact on the family. Mother’s are the first teachers a child has, how wonderful to begin using the language of the 5 basic needs in life, from early childhood on. Anytime a mother can learn the information about the 5 basic needs we all have in life, and as she begins to teach it, live it; the children (any age) and the family as a whole can greatly benefit with better communication, increasing self-esteem and even allow for more fun. Some women working with children (and or parents) find this very helpful in many ways, including communication of needs, and teaching ways to help meet the needs.

We used this workbook as a foundation, along with Kids Have Need and We All Have Needs, in a truancy prevention program in public schools with great success. 

Please note:
This workbook does not replace necessary medication or intense therapy but can be used with either of these under the direction and care of a professional.
