|The Physical and Psychological Needs of a Three year old in South Africa and the way forward. |

| |
|South Africa has one of the leading constitutions regarding Children’s rights. However we are a far way from realising our dreams. Poverty and Aids/HIV have |
|had a direct impact on children which leaves us way behind our goals. |
| |
|This essay will be focusing on explaining what constitutes the physical and psychological needs of three year old children, as well as how these needs can |
|ideally be met in a childcare setting in a South African context. |
| |
|One of the most important needs for any person is their physical needs. Maslow stated that Physiological (physical) needs are the physical requirements for |
|human survival. If these requirements are not met, the human body cannot function properly, and will ultimately fail. ( Maslow,1954) |
