Holistic Development

Holistic development refers to human development that involves all aspects of a person, including physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual growth. Understanding people holistically means seeing how these five aspects interact within an individual. Holistic development is a process of self-actualization that combines physiological, intellectual, social, psychological, and spiritual development. The story of the two wolves symbolizes that within each person are competing forces - one good and one bad - and that we have the power to choose which one we feed through our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

for others, and build and keep good relationships with friends, family and
others.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

 Refers to how a child develops friendships and other relationships, as well


as how a child handles conflict with peers. It is the manner by which an
individual interacts with other individuals or group of individuals.
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

 Is a process through which a child develops proper attitudes or behaviors


towards the other people in the society, based on various things such as
social and cultural norms, laws, and rules. It is the attributes of a
person’s consciousness and beliefs, including values and virtues that
guide and put meaning into a person’s life.
Understanding a person holistically means that one aspect cannot be seen
in isolation from the whole person. One must see how the interplay of all
five aspects occurs within an individual. It is the psychological or how
thinking, feeling, and behaving interacts and happens in a person. This
holistic approach in viewing a person is emphasized in education, medicine,
spiritual development, relationships, and in one person’s overall wellness.

Holistic development is a process of self-actualization and learning that


combines an individual’s, physical (physiological), Mental (intellectual),
social, emotional (psychological), and spiritual growth.

Reading: The Power Triad: Thoughts, Feelings, and Behavior

 Knowing which wolf to feed is the first step towards recognizing you have control over your
own self. Have you ever had thoughts, feelings or acted in ways that were unacceptable to
yourself but felt powerless to control?

 The purpose of this story is to help you find ways to manage your mind so that you can live
your life more in accordance with what your own judgment says is best for you. As we grow
up, we gradually become aware of the many things in the external world which are largely
beyond our ability to control.

 These include other people in general and most events in our lives. Initially this is difficult
to accept, but a more shocking realization is that there are many things about ourselves that
we seem powerless to control.

 Some of these are our own thoughts, feelings, and actions which unfortunately can be the
source of much distress. It may be thoughts such as “I cannot stop hating my teacher for not
giving me high grades.” It may involve an emotion e.g.
“My girlfriend left me and I cannot stop feeling sad, lonely and unloved.” It can
also be in the form of a behavior such as the inability to control one's craving for food such as
cakes and chocolates.”
