SOCIAL DESIGN

WITH KIDS

The beauty of Social Design is that it plays to the most powerful form of motivation: the self, the identity.

Social Design is actually central to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I believe. After our physiological needs of food and water, and after our basic safety needs, we have a very interesting duality between needing love and belonging and our own sense of self-esteem. It stands to reason, given the diagram, that we base much of our own self-esteem in how the community sees us and how accepted we are. In other words, the community helps drive our identity. And it’s when we have that feeling of belonging and love that we can build our self-esteem and reach our full potential.

Trust relies on clarity, competency (fresh, relevant, capable), commitment (commitment breeds commitment), consistency.

kids and trust
kids trust things easier and more honest than grownups, because they haven't been betrayed as much as a grownups might, they build up trust more easy thus they connect faster and easier. Their intentions are more pure so they don't assume that someone else's could not be honest.(it is something you "learn" while growing up)

Trust grows when we feel that the bigger purpose goes beyond the ego of the other.

A Manifesto for Children and a Better World

It has been said that a concerted focus on children for one generation could change history forever and I believe it.

Each of us started as a little seed, we can heal our own childhood traumas through engaging youth and helping them thrive. No parents are perfect, but together we can create a global community of support for mothers, fathers, and families so that they are empowered to raise healthy, loving, creative children.
