The Need to Feel
The second Foundational Need is all about feeling and moving through emotions freely.
Key themes include:
🧡Movement
🧡Confidence
🧡Celebration
🧡Spontaneity
🧡Pleasure
🧡Process
🧡Emotional Acceptance
When children (and adults) are in balance with this need, they move freely through life’s experiences with confidence. They learn to process their emotions healthily through play and other activities, leading to true happiness. Mastery over emotions brings a real sense of freedom!
Listen to “The Push for a Child Philosophy: What Children Really Need You to Know” by Dr. Maxine Therese on Spotify or Audible for more information about your Foundational Needs. Follow along for more information and parenting tips!

The Need to be Safe and Secure ❤️
The more we allow children to tune into the wisdom of their bodies, the fewer imbalances they will experience.
Adults can support children in developing healthy body associations and trusting their own felt sense of knowing. Teaching children to respect their bodies and listen to their body’s messages sets the foundation for body dialogue to be as valid and reasonable to listen to as verbal or thought patterns. The child’s body wisdom and body knowledge are the basis from which the child comes to know themselves.
This week, our Pure Wonder Children’s Classes commenced for Term 3, focusing on the Need to be Safe and Secure 🌳

Being in the Question is a three-step process empowering adults to support children without imposing their own beliefs. It fosters a relational space where children lead their emotional exploration.
First, attunement helps adults connect with the child’s feelings.
Wonder encourages children to ponder and theorize without adult influence.
Lastly, responsiveness guides adults to act in harmony with the child’s emotions and thoughts.
Consistently questioning the meaning of a child’s experience fosters safety and encourages authentic expression. Children struggle to voice their needs when they don’t feel safe to express their true feelings.
You will find more about ‘Being in the Question’ in The Push for a Child Philosophy written by Dr Maxine Therese.

Unlocking the wisdom of children’s bodies fosters balance and fulfillment. Adults play a crucial role in nurturing healthy body associations in children, fostering trust in their instincts.
Dr. Maxine Therese emphasizes the importance of honouring children’s body wisdom, laying the groundwork for a strong sense of self.
Prioritizing Children to respect and listen to their bodies, empowers them on their journey of self-discovery ✨
You will find information on how to help children tune into their bodies in The Push for a Child Philosophy, written by Dr Maxine Therese. Soon to be released on Audible 🎉

The Foundational Needs Model, delves into the depths of children’s daily experiences, guiding them to recognise moments of disconnection from their soul.
Through research and clinical practice Dr Maxine Therese highlights the notion that discord between feelings and thoughts can lead to imbalance and ill health.
When children feel constrained to hide parts of themselves or conform to external expectations, it creates a rift between their inner truth and outer reality. This incongruence not only affects their emotional wellbeing but also takes a toll on their physical health and energy systems.
More information on the Foundational Needs Model can be found in The Push for a Child Philosophy, written by Dr Maxine Therese. This Book draws on the latest scientific research, philosophy, and psychology
as well as her own clinical experience promoting the child as a soul - unified in body, mind, and spirit. Articulated through the Foundational Needs Model, the complex interplay of the emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual, and physical dimensions are revealed 🌈
![](https://img3.findglocal.com/445/088/843534774450883.jpg)
Reflecting on our journey, we realize that our quest for recognition and validation traces back to the echoes of our childhood🌟
As adults, we seek the larger meaning, the ‘story of us,’ yearning to reconcile our true selves with the outer world. Yet, in our pursuit, we may inadvertently project our unmet needs onto our children, hoping to find wholeness and unity through them. 🌱 But without addressing our own wounds and seeking new ways to meet our needs, we risk passing on unresolved pain to the next generation.
Let’s break the cycle and embrace healing, both for ourselves and our children 💖
We are excited for the countdown of ‘The Push for a Child Philosophy, What Children really Need You to Know’ by Dr Maxine Therese to be released on Audible!

Imagine letting go of your concerns and worries knowing that all your needs are taken care of and that your needs matter.
When we put our body in certain positions it makes us feel safe. ❤️

“If we know that a child is feeling, thinking, or acting in a way that may not be optimal for them, the energy in the Chakras is affected. In fact, everything the child feels and thinks has an effect on the body and their life. Interpreting the meaning beneath the child’s expressions, behaviours, symptoms and fascinations, requires that we comprehend that children respond purposefully to unmet needs, and that the child’s actions convey vital information about the feelings and thoughts driving their behaviours.”
Excerpt From: Dr Maxine Therese. “THE PUSH FOR A CHILD PHILOSOPHY.”
A great tool for parents, available on the Childosophy Shop- Link in bio❤️

The meaning of Childosophy translates as child wisdom. Allowing children to bring their wisdom forth everyday means as adults we have to come to know and understanding their bodies knowledge. Children give us special wisdom through their bodies and behaviours.
