Creating a sense of community is vital to avoiding behavior challenges. To remain part of the circle, children must accept the rules and roles assigned. Also, if we look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, an individual’s primary need is for safety. The second is love and belonging. These two needs are especially essential to young children.
