Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Adolescence
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization. Source: https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html |
PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS In adolescence children start to take these needs into their own hands. While they still rely on parents or others for some of these needs, they are more self reliant than ever. They are making choices of how these needs are met and hopefully they are making the right ones. Water is one of our most basic needs. Teens have a lot of choices when it comes to fluids. Like adults, adolescence should be getting eight, eight ounce servings of water per day. Most schools have pop machines and many other choices besides water so it is important to teach teens to drink enough water. This image shows a teenage girl drinking a glass of water. |
