Information: Children's needs - and good old Marslow.
I hear a lot about children's needs.
And the problems that arise if children's needs are ignored.
Some have problems concerning self esteem.
Some have problems concerning creativity.
Some have problems concerning learning.
Some have problems concerning social behavior.
Some have problems concerning stimulation from grown ups.
Some have problems being alone with themselves.
It's lack of psychological balance we talk about.
Good old Maslow - Abraham Maslow - is known for establishing the theory of a hierarchy of needs.
He says that the basic needs are physiological needs such as air, water, food, sleep etc.
My theory is that Marslow forgot one basic need.
LEGO.
When children build with LEGO under the guidance of grown ups
many of the above problems are avoided.
Building with LEGO is building self esteem and self confidence.
Their creativity is trained.
They exercise playful learning.
Building together with other children under guidance of grown ups improves their social skills.
Building with LEGO bricks brings peace in the children's minds.
