Children Need
Community of Learners Foundation

2. BASIC NEEDS
Every child has basic needs that have to be met: food,
health care, protection from harm or injury, affection,
interaction, stimulation and learning through exploration
and discovery.
The quality of care that the child receives from
conception, birth and throughout childhood will
determine whether a child will develop the best
possible way. Community of Learners Foundation

experience extreme
stress in their earliest
years are at greater
risk than peers without
this stress for
developing a variety of
cognitive, behavioral
and emotional
difficulties.
Community of Learners Foundation

6. Taking On Challenges
We should do more than help children COPE
with stress. We need to help them learn to
take on challenges.
Children who are willing to take on challenges
(instead of avoiding them or simply coping
with them) do better in school and in life.
