Page 11 - Needs Model Series: I feel a sense of control

A low sense of control

There are some children who do not have such a good sense of control

over their lives.

▪ They are not so sure if they will get a good meal.

▪ They are not sure if the people who look them

will be in a good mood and kind.

▪ They are not sure who will be in the house

when they get home or where they will be

sleeping that night.

▪ Or maybe their brain works differently and they end up not

feeling sure about what they are meant to be doing or if they

can do a good job of a task.

This then means they have a low sense of control over their life.

Their circle of control and influence is small.
