Notes

Neglect involves failure to meet one or more of an individual's Seven Essential Needs. This failure can be divided into several categories[1]

  1. Physiological Neglect: Physiological neglect involves the failure to provide for a child's physiological needs, including their need for proper nutrition, clothing, shelter, and hygiene.
  2. Cognitive Neglect: Cognitive neglect involves failing to provide the necessary support for the child's cognitive need to know and understand the world. In a modern world where knowledge and understanding has exploded, this involves failure to provide a meaningful, high-quality, free, and accessible educational system, failing to enroll all children in school, failing to provide appropriate special supports for those who struggle, and so on and so forth. [2]
  3. Psychological Neglect: Psychological neglect involves failure to provide conditions conducive to the proper development of the child's Bodily Ego. This includes failure to properly nurture and support a positive sense of self, positive self-esteem, positive sense of empowerment and competence, and so on. We need to feel we are a good person that is worthy of love and acceptance. We also need to feel competent and powerful, like we can accomplish the things we want to accomplish in life
  4. Emotional Neglect: Emotional neglect involves the persistent failure to meet a child's emotional needs. This could include not providing comfort when a child is distressed, not validating their feelings or experiences, not expressing affection, not making them feel included in the family or group, not being emotionally available or responsive, ignoring the child's feelings, and so on
  5. Environmental Neglect: Environment neglect involves neglect of our environmental needs for a safe, secure, stable, clean, aesthetically pleasing and nurturing environment.[3] This includes medical neglect which is involves the failure to provide appropriate health care for a child (or adult), even though the means are available.
  6. Alignment Neglect: Failure to support an individual's powerful need to be in alignment.
  7. Connection Neglect: Failure to provide adequate training in the practices required to attain full connection (Connection Practice)

Note, no single individual can provide for the sufficient satisfaction of all an individual's Seven Essential Needs. "It takes a [global] village" to satisfy them all.
