seen and examined
 You are identified as “you” because of your physical
characteristics

PRACTICES TO KEEP YOURSELVES PHYSICALLY FIT, YOUTHFUL

AND NATURALLY GLOWING:
Children would need guidance from their significant others to
realize that they should not only be concerned of their physical self, as
they should value a much higher goal that lasts and that is, the
formation of their positive self-identity, self-image, self-concept
and self-esteem.
1. Self-identity
- How you are known

- Adi an imo name, status, profession, place of
origin, school, where you reside, etc. That is your
personal self-identity.
2. Self-image
- Idea about your abilities, appearance, and

personality
- As you stand before the mirror, what do you see?
What are your skills? All these tells your self-
image. The idea that you have about yourself.
3. Self-concept
- Collection of an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and

beliefs
- Active, dynamic, and adaptive.
- Kung ano tingin mo sa imo sarili. And also an
response san other people about you. Like you can
say Jungkook is a caring and accommodating person.
That is his self-concept.
- Your self-concept may change because of your
experiences. Can be your trauma, the environment
you are in, an imo beliefs that changed overtime due
to a certain circumstance. What you hear from
other people, and their influence too contributes to
the formation of self-concept.
4. Self-esteem
- How much you appreciate, value, and like yourself

- If your attitude towards your physical self is
positive, then your self-esteem is positive. People
with high self-esteem can establish better work
relationship than those with low self-esteem.
FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
1. Heredity
It influences all aspects of physical appearance such as height,

body structures, color of the eye, hair, intelligence, diseases, and etc.
These genetic factors can adversely affect the growth of the child.
Also, there are two biological factors that contribute to a child’s

growth and development.
a. Nutrition - Prior to birth, an diet and overall health san

mother plays a role in the child’s development. Kung nainom
liquor or alak an babae habang buntis, it may affect the
development of her child.
b. Gender - It plays a factor in cognitive maturation
(growth of a child’s ability to think and reason) in that boys
tend to develop and learn differently from girls. Research
suggests that boys have lower level of school readiness than
girls. Boys can also be physically stronger than girls
2. Intelligence
When you feel certain emotions, you do your best to understand

and explain it. You are aware of how your actions and emotions
impact not only yourself, but, other people as well.
Like for example an trend sadto na nagmahal, nasaktan, gumanda.

That specific feeling na nasaktan nagtrigger sa imo brain na mag-make
a move. Iton na gumanda. It contributes to your self-development.
Diri siya an smart or matalino academically. Intelligence is your

awareness about your own feelings tas you are able to explain or
makaka-isip ka move to address your feelings.
3. Environment
a. Geographical influence - Living in a healthy and loving

community plays a role in a child’s overall attitude and
personality. They will further grow up as a loving, good, and
nurturing people. Unlike if as a child they were exposed with
violence and chaos.
b. The parent’s socio-economic status - No matter how often
we say that we are all equal. Mayaman man o mahirap, still no
doubt that the parent’s socio-economic status determines
many things about the child’s early development. A child who
is born with a golden spoon on his mouth and opportunities
presented on his feet is far different from a child who is
forced to work his ass off at an early age to survive impacts
his later success or failure in life.
c. Accidents and incidents that children experienced may also
affect their physical development. Kids that have been
exposed to repeated trauma could become hypersensitive to
physical contact. You can notice them flinch or cry even if
mag-attempt ka la na hawakan sira or magharani ka. Physical
and sexual abuse could lead to many physical health
problems. Such experiences may affect their beliefs,
growth and development.
