Understand The Importance Of Holistic Development
For holistic development we mean to the human development that is involve all the part of a person and it’s designed to accommodate all the area of development of a child. Such as communication and language, physical development and personal, social and emotional development. Holistic education try to teach to children using a natural and fun method instead of compartmentalizing development areas.
To understand why the holistic development is important we need to remember that even if we consider all the area of development as separate they are not, in fact they are all related and they can’t work separately. They are co-dependent and this means that while you may find it helpful to focus on one area of a child's development, you must always remember that children are 'whole' people. …show more content…
In fact each area may have a specific vocabulary that the child will need to learn.
Holistic approach in relation to children's physical development means that a setting wouldn't expect a child to only exercise their muscles during a physical activity (running, football practise, swimming, etc). As a setting we will provide opportunities for physical development to happen holistically indoors and outdoors eg. when dancing and singing, stacking blocks, stirring a bucket of mud and water, fitting jigsaw pieces together or posting shapes into a sorter.
An holistic approach in relation to children personal, social and emotional development means that children have opportunity to socialise and express their feeling and ideas not only during specific time of day but through different activities. For example during a cutting activity we can use a messy material to cut so that the child can tell us how does it feels and can express his ideas. Or we can have an artistic activity where the children can choose a parter to help
