Driven to meet needs: Needs Seeking
▪ We are wired for survival.
▪ When our needs are not met well, we may be
driven to meet our needs in any way possible.
▪ This may not be in very helpful ways.
▪ For example, if a person does not feel they count or are very
important, they may show off, put other people down or try to
overpower others.
▪ When this happens, the person may not be even be aware
what is driving their unkindness: it is normally subconscious.
▪ Learning to understand and recognize what releases our
‘DOSE’ and find helpful and healthy ways to do so is key
to every child’s (and adult’s!) success.
