Physical Needs – food, water, breathing, shelter

Safety Needs – physical and financial safety; safe from accidents or illness

Belonging Needs – friendships, family, and other relationships

Esteem Needs – being accepted, valued, and respected by others

Self-Actualization Needs – realize your potential and do what you were “born to do”

For each of the following scenarios, identify the emotion and the need or needs being met or not met:

  • Peaches didn’t get invited to the party.
