Cups of Need
▪ A model to help children better understand their level of need.
▪ It helps children recognise their own needs and the needs of others
We all have different levels of need:
▪ Some people need lots of sleep, attention, love or certainty to be at their best; other people don’t
need as much.
▪ Some people get overwhelmed with too much noise; others can cope with loads of noise.
▪ We can think of this as the size cup we have for each physical, emotional or learning need in order
to be at our best.
▪ Knowing your size cup for each needs puts you in control – and it helps you to prepare
ahead – Prep4Best!
