Understanding Physical Needs:




      Using our blue ‘Physical Needs’ cards, adults can help

      children to know their physical needs.





      This helps children to prepare ahead to make sure they are met well –

      ‘Prepare to Prevent, Plan to Succeed’.




      Knowing these different physical needs well also helps children to better


      notice early on when they are not being met so they can get the help

      they need before they deregulate.





      The cards also provide a way for children to easily let other people know

      their needs.




      These cards should be introduced gradually, providing

      lots of examples to children. To help everyone get to


      Know them well, it is helpful to display them somewhere

      where they will be seen regularly. .
