Week of September 21st

 


PBiS Focus of the Week - Belonging:  This lynchpin character need is met by being prosocially connected to significant others; having a sense of emotional connection to individuals singly or in groups (clubs, teams, interest groups, family, supportive people).  Having emotionally healthy and secure bonds with others promotes feelings of positive self-worth, preparing youngsters to form these same nurturing attachments with decent, upright people in the future.
 
As Abraham Maslow (1953) pointed out in his "Hierarchy of Needs" model, after the physiological needs (e.g., minimal levels of food, water, temperature)are met, "Love and Belonging" needs are the next most important.  Humans have a primal need to feel valued, important, and protected by significant others in their lives... to feel comfortable and welcomed within a frequent and important group such as family, friends, colleagues, etc.  Of course, the family and one's close personal community are the most important influences on the original development of this area of self.
