In this episode of Blooming Curious, we discuss how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can be harnessed to motivate children to love learning. This discussion stems from a popular blog post on the same topic. We explore the hierarchy from the foundational requirements such as physiological needs and safety, to how love, belonging, and self-esteem play pivotal roles in setting kids up for success, ultimately leading to self-actualization and a genuine love of curiosity and learning. The episode also highlights practical strategies for parents and educators to nurture these needs.
