Basic Human Needs

A friend of mine shared this list of basic human needs with me. I have seen a few lists of this nature, but not one with these particular needs. I resonated with all of them. Exposure to this list is impacting the way I am evaluating what my kids are needing from me currently. It is helping me interpret some of their actions with greater understanding and consequently more kindness.
  1. Connection
  2. Physical Well-Being
  3. Honesty
  4. Play
  5. Peace
  6. Autonomy
  7. Meaning
I am also understanding some of my own struggle as I contemplate where I sit with these needs.
