Mily Miss Questions season 1 episode 17, titled "Want VS Need", explores the differences between wanting and needing things. The episode begins with Mily, our curious and intelligent young protagonist, contemplating whether she wants or needs a new toy she has seen in a store. She is confused about the two concepts and turns to her friends for help.
Mily's friends each have different opinions on the matter, which causes Mily to feel even more confused. She considers what it means to want something versus needing it, and how it can be difficult to distinguish between the two.
In the show, Mily learns that wanting something is a desire for something that is not necessarily necessary for survival or happiness. For instance, she might want a new toy because it looks cool, but it is not something that she needs to live or be happy. Need, on the other hand, refers to something that is essential for survival or happiness. For example, she might need food, water, or sleep to survive.
Throughout the episode, Mily explores different scenarios where she is unsure about whether she wants or needs something. Her parents also play a role in helping her to understand the concepts of want versus need. They explain to her that sometimes we want things because of advertising or peer pressure, but it is important to consider whether we need them before we go out and get them.
As Mily continues to explore the want versus need problem, she learns that making wise choices can help her avoid getting things she does not need and focus on the things she does need. She learns that there are many needs she has, such as love, safety, and friends and that seeking those things is more important than chasing after the latest things that everyone else has.
In the end, Mily comes to realize that there is a difference between wanting and needing. She understands that it is important to evaluate whether something is a want or a need before making a decision. Also, she learns that she should prioritize things she needs over things she wants. Finally, she knows how to take good care of herself by making wise choices that support her happiness and health.
The show is educational and fun, making it easy for young viewers to learn and understand the concepts being discussed. While this episode focuses on the difference between want and need, the overall message is about mindfulness, critical thinking, and self-awareness. These are essential skills that every young person needs to develop for a happy, healthy life.
