REACHING ALL THE LEVELS WITH TEACHER/PARENT/CHILD WITHIN EACH OF US
The ‘RESPONSIBILITY’ factors being addressed as I work with our grandchildren are what I first call “basic needs”. Maslow, the famous psychologist, in his hierarchy of needs diagram says, “The basic needs are physiological ‘having needs’ - food/water/warmth/rest. That includes clothing, shelter and safety needs.
During most of one’s childhood, RESPONSIBILITY is in the hands of outside parents and teachers. Maturity and becoming adult means the child becomes their own teacher/parent taking care of the child inside of each of us.
Some of us think we can operate at the top and live in constant ecstasy. There are those who obsesses on one level - even when it's helping others.
With practice and responsibility, maturity and adult activity is gradually acquired as one reaches higher and higher, completing each of the levels in Maslow’s diagram on a daily basis.
Fulfillment in life is to daily reach all the levels.
