What is wrong with these methods?
▪ They control
▪ They are external
▪ They need strict observation
▪ It doesn’t promote good behavior, it just says….
Why is it so important?It’s not always easy to take decisions, as situations get complex often, hence you are not just teaching good and bad, you are training them for something big.
We need people who can take.
People who do what they say,
people know how to do it right,
people whose decisions are selfless.
Humans who are humane..

So, if you have no power over the (ineffective) systems that are being usedto control a child‟s behaviour, and you clearly cannot just carry on acceptingthe behaviour, what can you do to make positive changes?
There is a clear relation between behavior and emotions.
Psychologists list a wide variety of psychologicalneeds – from the need to achieve need to contributeneed for love and a whole host of others in between.
1. Empowerment
• Recognition
• Freedom
• achievement
• contribution
• choice and
• competence
If the need for empowerment isn’t being met we will feel powerless and frustrated in any given situation.
2.FUN
need for
• curiosity
• interest,
• growth and learning,
• adventure
• amusement,
• surprise,
• variety
If the need for fun goes unmet we feel bored and frustrated.
Need for Belonging
To be
• accepted
• Valued
• Appreciated
• Needed
• related to or connected with something beyond oneself.
• In short, the need to be loved.
If the need for belonging goes unmet we feel lost, uncared for, lonely, isolated, vulnerable, let down, inferior and of course, frustrated.
