McLeod(2007)
Although Maslow had designed the pyramid to show his hierarchy of needs and has been accepted as the for runner to the theory, during the 1960s and 1970s, Maslow changed his five stage pyramid to a seven stage and eight stage pyramid placing in an additional three new sections McLeod(2007). The new layers of the pyramid that Maslow introduced were Cognitive, Aesthetic and Transcendence. However, Derra (2010) suggests more changes have happened since then due to observations taken by research teams, which included (Kenrick et al., 2016) who found that after observing psychological processes changed responses to evolutionary fundamental motives, such as self-protection, mating or status concerns.

However, if the child shows a certain weakness in each of the preceding stages they cannot move on to the next. The idea of this is worrying as a parent and HLTA within the school to find out that children may be at risk due to lack of knowledge and understanding of how to guide the child in each stage in order to reach self-actualization. However, through Maslow, many concepts and ideas have been formulated, which in turn, would increase this knowledge and guidance. However, some have been critical about the hierarchy of needs due to its relatedness being too male orientated. (Hanley and Abell 2002) of Western Individualistic male-based notions of relatedness like Maslow 's have come from diverse thinkers and traditions. Theses critique views have come from feminist writers such as (Chodorow1978) (Gilligan, 1982) and (Keller and Longino, 1996). They suggested that women have a separate conception of interpersonal relationships than do men. Feminists felt that they are more aware of relationships and psychological truths that do not fit into Maslow’s male based hierarchy.

Thrive’s approach is to identify children at an early stage in their emotional development. Addressing the emotional development of an individual at an early stage can build upon the individual’s resilience, which in turn can help reduce the risk of mental illness (Thrive, 2016)
Currently, there are numerous other schools across Devon that are the using the intervention to help their children, including (Totnes-st-johns-primary.devon.sch.uk, 2016). Thrive helps to re-engage children who are on the brink of exclusion with improved communication between educational staff and various outside agencies who have been involved with the child’s well-being. The principal aim of the approach is to assist those individuals who have been affected through the initial process of growing

    Yet to criticise Maslow for this is ignorant as this was not his intention he clearly implied through his writings that motivation is dynamic writing "We have spoken so far as if this hierarchy were a fixed order but actually it is not nearly as rigid as we may have implied. " Thus we must praise his contribution as a whole, the Hierarchy of Needs theory can be easily applied in different settings and still is years after it was first proposed, in addition to this the idea that human needs are continuously changing and developing where as one is met others are desired is an accurate depiction of human…

Abraham Maslow created a theory that states “that there are several levels of needs that a person must strive to meet before achieving the highest level of personality fulfillment” (Psych book 352). He arranged these into, what he calls, “the hierarchy of needs” (Psych book 352). Abraham Maslow’s theory is that once each level of needs is met, humans reach self actualization.…

    Rudy and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Abraham Maslow created a theory about how the human meets their needs. His theory contains five tiers that start at the physiological needs and continue up to self-actualization. Physiological needs are our most basic needs that get us through everyday life, such as food, water, shelter, and sleep. The next step is safety needs which is where we find security in life and is the last “basic” need. Next, we reach the need of belongingness and love, which is a psychological need rather than a physiological need.…

    A risk assessment helps in working through areas of Mr McGregor’s life that he wished to focus on. “Whatever the focus of the assessment, the purpose is generally for the assessment to inform plans about intervention – generally referred to as risk management strategies” (Maclean and Harrison, 2009: 161). This was the case when working with Mr McGregor. We had worked together on an outcome focused assessment, ensuring his point of view was being heard. “The initial stage of the process involves gathering information about the situation in order to establish, as far as possible, the nature, extent and seriousness of the problems to be addressed, the needs of the people concerned, the risk factors involved, the strengths and resources available…

    every time I try and grow a plant it dies, and finish off with - but I'm very good at washing my car and making it shine like new. read stories of resilience i.e. Jack and the beanstalk. Adults can help in the manner we deal and speak with them. You can see children who are learning resilience when they have a minor accident - some mothers may say 'Never mind, let's give it a magic rub/kiss better' and they run off again, some rub their own leg as an adult asks them if they are alright, 'Yes' they say and run off with their friends. Some mothers rush over and make a fuss, the child responds by howling even if they only brushed against a bush, and this often becomes the learned behaviour.…

    Erik Erikson came up with eight stages that he thought influenced the development of man. The first four stages correlated with Freud’s psychosexual stages and the last four stages, Erikson elaborated on the genital stage of Freud’s theory. Erikson said that his developmental stages were more hierarchal and they tended to be cumulative, rather than clear cut stages one gets passed (Erikson, 1969). He also believed that virtues that arose from the different stages needed to constantly be “reaffirmed” and “nurtured” (Engler, 2014). He believed that if a conflict was resolved satisfactorily, it was good, but if it was not, then the negative component of that particular stage would predominate (Engler, 2014).…
