1. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

2. What is a person? -- a human being regarded as an individual. What is Development? --   a  process that creates growth, progress, positive c hange or the addition of physical, economic, environmental, social and demographic components .

3. Why is Personal Development Important? Personal development is important because, to quote Draymond Green, “if you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse”.  Personal developmen t bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It’s the vehicle that leads you to your goals. When you commit to personal development, you enter a unique  journey of self-discovery  and high-impact realizations about life. 

4. What is personal development? Personal development i s the process of learning about yourself in order to reach your potential. It’s important to consider your skills and what you are aiming to achieve – setting yourself personal goals with the intention of improving your quality of life, and helping you to be the person you aspire to be. Personal development can involve many aspects of your life including: social interaction emotional needs career academic needs physical / exercise

5. The only person who travels with you through your whole life is you. Knowing Myself Knowing one's self primarily focuses on how we behave and think in general. It deals with our internal and external self (attitude and the way we look). Through the following, one can know him/herself Talent (our abilities) Strengths and weaknesses (our capabilities and shortfalls) Likes and dislikes Physical appearance (our bodily looks)

6. Improving Our Talents We are all blessed with at least something we can do very well but the following can help improve them. Education Training Constant practice Counseling

7. Week 4-5 Developing the Whole Person

8. This lesson is entitled Developing the Whole Person -Evaluate One’s Personality After going through this lesson, you are expected to:   1. discuss the relationship among physiological, cognitive, psychological, spiritual, and social developmen t to understand his/her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors 2. evaluate his/her own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

9. Human life is complex and it consists of many different facets. We have our work life, our home life, our social life, our spiritual life, and so on. We tend to think of these areas as separate; after all, they each take place in different settings, they require wholly different tasks, and they include different atmospheres and social interactions.

10. Whole-Person Development The term whole-person development refers to the “holistic development of a person’s actions and behaviors as compared to just acquisition of specific content knowledge.”* Whole Person Development is a practice based on the theory that different parts of our lives are intricately connected.  It views success and fulfillment as a product of overall life balance. By viewing the different aspects of our lives as a whole, rather than separately, we can set ourselves up for a balanced and prosperous life.

11. The four (4) main Areas of Whole Person Development 1. Physical Development The physical aspect of Whole Person Development relates to your physical health. It entails eating the right foods, exercising to maintain a healthy body, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. We know very well how important physical health is. It prevents disease, helps maintain a healthy body weight, and makes you feel good. However, we rarely pay attention to the other ways in which physical fitness affects us.

12. SENSUAL SELF NUTRITIONAL SELF

13. 2. Cognitive Aspect ( Mental Development) Thoughts are impression activated by a stimulus in your mind that is evident from the environment that you are in.

14. Social Almost everything we do in life involves interacting with others. It’s imperative that we understand how to form and maintain good relationships, as well as how to properly act in different social environments. For example, the way you talk with your boss at work will be much different than the way you interact with friends. To be truly successful, it’s important to understand how to present yourself in a variety of different social atmospheres. Emotional Your emotions shape who you are. They give rise to your reactions to situations, your personality, your connection with others, your adaptation to change, your ability to handle stressful situations, and much, much more. 3. Psychosocial Aspect (Emotional & Social Development)

15. INTERACTIONAL SELF

16. Spiritual Spirituality is an essential piece of the Whole Person Development puzzle. It’s a means of finding purpose and connecting with yourself as well as with the world around you. It’s important to note that spiritualism can be different for everybody. It might be faith, prayer, meditation, or even being out in nature. Spiritual awareness helps fulfill a variety of different human functions. It promotes compassion, positive relationships, a sense of purpose, honesty, optimism, and inner peace. These characteristics make up a crucial part of success and happiness. 4. Spiritual Aspect (Spiritual development)

17. CONTEXTUAL SELF

18. Lesson 4 Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviors in Actual Life Situations

19. EXAMPLES

20. The idea is that if we are aware of the connections between these aspects of an experience (at minimum our thoughts, feelings and behaviors) we can understand how they are influencing each other and reflect on how to impact them for positive change. Let me give you an example: SITUATION : A young girl is walking down the hallway at school when she notices a group of girls glance at her and start laughing. Worried they are making fun of her she starts to feel tears in her eyes and dashes away. Using the model we’re discussing here, this is one way we could break this situation down: Thoughts : “They are making fun of me,” “They don’t like me.” Feelings : Ashamed, upset, hurt Behaviors : Dashing away and crying But are there any other ways to interpret this situation? The only facts we have is that they looked at her, they were laughing, and they were in the hallway at school. So what if instead of that heavy negative worry we tried to focus on a different thought like: Thoughts : “They are having a good time,” or “Someone must have told a joke.” Would the feelings still be ashamed, upset and hurt? Maybe, but it’s not as likely. Instead, it might go like this: Thoughts : “They are having a good time,” or “Someone must have told a joke.” Feelings : Curious, distracted Behaviors : Continuing down the hallway as usual

21. Situation:   Your mother arrived from work and went directly to her room. She did not even greet you nor give you a glance. Negative thought : Mom is angry at me. Negative feeling : I feel sad. Negative behavior : I will not talk to her either. In the following counter example, notice how changing a negative viewpoint to a positive one could alter feeling and behavior: Situation:  Your mother arrived from work and went directly to her room. She did not even greet you nor give you a glance. Positive thought : Maybe she has an urgent task to attend to or she is too tired. Positive feeling : I am relieved. Positive behavior : I will just say ‘Hi’ to her after she has rested enough or when she’s done with her task.

22. WEEK 6-7 Developmental Task and Challenges of Adolescence Adolescence is the period of development that begins at puberty and ends at emerging adulthood. This period of development corresponds roughly to the period between the ages of 10 and 19 years, which is consistent with the World Health Organization’s definition of adolescence.

23. Here is the list of the most common challenges that adolescents experience:   Biological Challenges Adolescence begins with the first well-defined maturation event called puberty. Included in the biological challenges are the changes that occur due to the release of the sexual hormones that affect emotions.   Cognitive Challenges Piaget, in his Theory of Social Development, believed that adolescence is the time when young people develop cognitively from “concrete operations” to “formal operations”, so they are able to deal with ideas, concepts, and abstract theories . They can become self-conscious thinking they are being watched by others, and at other times they behave as if they were on a center stage and perform for a non-existent audience. For example, acting like a music idol, singing their favorites songs in their room with all the accompanying dance steps. Psychological Challenges The notable psychological challenge that the adolescent must cope with is moving from childhood to adulthood.

24. How To Deal With Common Problems Of Adolescence Adolescence is not an easy time for children or parents. The only way to deal with needs and problems at this age is to know about them and be ready to face them. Parent-adolescent conflicts that cause insecure and unstable feelings have a linear association with pubertal maturity. Understanding and dealing with these conflicts positively could help your child be more responsible and social  (1) . Here is our list of the most common problems, and their solutions that adolescents have to deal with.

25. 1. Physical changes Physical changes  happen due to change in the teenager’s hormone levels. Development of full breasts in girls can be awkward in the beginning. Girls may start to feel conscious about their figure. Change of voice and appearance of facial hair in boys is perhaps the most prominent change that takes place during adolescence. Acne is one of the major problems. Muscle gain sometimes leads to  excessive body weight in teens . The growth of pubic hair in girls and boys. Body odor becomes evident. Girls start their periods. Solution The best way you can do to help your teenager get through the stage is to make them aware of these changes. Explain that it is normal for the body to change as every teenager goes through it! Help them adapt to these changes – acknowledge the change and help them accept it. Enable them to stay healthy and fit through a nutritious diet and exercise.

26. 2. Emotional changes and problems Hormones affect your teenager not only physically but also emotionally. Adolescence is the age between adulthood and childhood. Teenagers are often confused about their role and are torn between their responsibilities as growing adults and their desires as children. They tend to feel overly emotional (blame it on the hormones). Just about anything and everything can make them happy, excited, mad or angry. Adolescent girls are vulnerable to crying. Mood swings are common among teenage boys and girls. Bodily changes result in self-consciousness. Children who hit puberty early may even feel weird. Feelings of inferiority or superiority may arise at this time. Adolescence is the age when sexual feelings arise in youngsters . Feelings and thoughts about sex can trigger a sense of guilt.

27. Solution to Emotional changes and problems Puberty can be an emotional roller-coaster ride. And it is normal. Here is how you can help your kid deal with these  emotional problems of adolescence . Assist them to take care of themselves. Tell your teenagers that it is okay to feel the way they are feeling. Adolescence is the time when children develop and exercise their independence. This can give rise to questioning the parents’ rules (seen as argumentative) and standing up for what they believe is right (seen as stubbornness). Significant developmental change in the brain makes teens moody, tired and difficult to deal with. The raging hormones in teenage boys can even push them to get into physical confrontations. They would also want to listen to loud music. As a part of their new-found independence, adolescents may also want to try new things and take risks, resulting in careless behavior. Sometimes,  peer pressure  and the need to ‘fit in’ can make them behave in a certain way or develop certain habits that are hard to break.

28. Educational challenges High school is not all about fashion, friends, and parties. Children also have a lot of educational activities on their plate. Pressure to perform academically and obtain college admission can be stressful and make your teenager moody. Juggling school work,  extra-curricular activities  (must for college admissions) and chores at home can be tiring. Distractions at school can result in poor academic performance, which will add to the pressure. Solution Support your child’s aspirations for college education as what they need is the encouragement to do well. You could cut down their household chores to enable them to focus on their school projects when needed. Nutrition and exercise can help them get the strength and endurance they need to get through the hectic high school period. If you feel your child is getting overwhelmed with his daily activities, cut down on a few tasks because adolescents still don’t have the lung capacity of an adult and get tired sooner than a grown-up person.

29. 8. Social problems – dating and relationships Attraction to the opposite sex begins during puberty. Adolescence is the time when their sexual or reproductive organs start developing. At such a vulnerable time, it is but natural for teens to feel awkward in social situations. Teenagers want to have an identity of their own. They tend to look up to role models at home or outside. Adolescents also start thinking about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and question your take on certain things. They need time to understand and get comfortable with their sexuality . Girls and boys start experiencing ‘weird’ feelings towards the other sex and may not know what to do about it. This is the time they start dating. Your adolescent may not be comfortable talking to you about it and may go with little information or misinformation they have about it. Competition is another important aspect of a teenager’s social life. Your child may compete with her peers in anything and everything. Their spirit of competition speaks a lot about their perception of self – whether they have a positive self-esteem or a negative one. Sexual feelings and thoughts of sex may seem wrong to an adolescent , because of which they may feel guilty. Their social circle expands during this time as they seem occupied interacting with friends on social media sites, through their phone and outside.

30. Solution Here is how you can deal with social problems of adolescence – Dating, romance, and sex are delicate issues that your teenager may not be comfortable talking about. Don’t make it more awkward for your child. Be confident and rational when discussing the subject. Your child may seem to spend more time outside than with you. Accept that your adolescents are discovering a whole new world. Just let them know you are there when they need you. Sharing your dating and social life experiences in school can put them at ease sometimes. Social problems – dating and relationships

31. Health Issues of adolescence: Eating Disorders An eating disorder describe illness that are characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress or concern about body weight or shape. Eating disturbances may include inadequate or excessive food intake which can ultimately damage an individual’s well-being. The most common forms of eating disorders are the following.   Types of Eating Disorders: Anorexia Nervosa Teenagers with anorexia may take extreme measures to avoid eating and to control the quantity and quality of the foods they eat. They may become abnormally thin and still talk about feeling fat. They typically continue to strict diet even at very unhealthy weights because they have a distorted image of their body.   Bulimia Nervosa Teenagers with bulimia nervosa typically ‘binge and purge’ by engaging in uncontrollable episodes of overeating (bingeing) usually followed by compensatory behavior such as: purging through vomiting, use of laxatives, enemas, fasting, or excessive exercise. Eating binges may occur as often as several times a day but are most common in the evening and night hours.

32. Mental Health Disorder   Anxiety Disorders Anxiety disorders are a group of mental disorders characterized by significant feelings of anxiety and fear. Anxiety is a worry about future events, and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a fast heart rate and shakiness.   Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): A period of at least 2 weeks during which there is either depressed mood or the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities . In children and adolescents, the mood may be irritable rather than sad. School phobia School phobia, also called school refusal, is defined as a persistent and irrational fear of going to school. It must be distinguished from a mere dislike of school that is related to issues such as a new teacher, a difficult examination, the class bully, lack of confidence, or having to undress for a gym class. The phobic adolescent shows an irrational fear of school and may show marked anxiety symptoms when in or near the school.

33. Social Issues Sexual Abuse Sexual abuse is a sexual behavior, or a sexual act forced upon a woman, man, or child without their consent. Sexual abuse includes abuse by another man, woman, or child. Sexual abuse in childhood may result in problems of depression and low self-esteem, as well as in sexual difficulties, either avoidance of sexual contact or, on the other hand, promiscuity or prostitution. Sexual abuse in children is regarded by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the major public health problems. Substance Abuse Some children start smoking or chewing tobacco at an early age, aided by easy access to tobacco products. Many of our youth, with limited supervision or few positive alternatives, drink too much beer and liquor. Other youth, influenced by their peers, use other illegal drugs. Our youth suffer from substance abuse in familiar ways: diminished health, compromised school performance, and reduced opportunities for development.  

34. Influence of Mass Media Adolescents spend a significant amount of time in viewing and interacting with electronic devices in the form of TV, radio, cellphone, and computers. Mass media activate and reinforce attitude and contribute significantly in the formation of new attitudes and will continue to affect children's cognitive and social development. Impact of Social Media Social media is a constant part of our lives: we are bombarded by alerts from Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep. This constant noise is associated with negative mental health outcomes in younger generations who have grown up with the chatter.

35. Influential People in My Life These are some of the people who molded you in many significant ways and have become part of your existence. of security no matter what happens. The concept of home is formed coupled with love and much sacrifices that either your mother or father is willing to give. When you want to hear honest opinion about the things you need to improve, they would never hesitate to tell exactly what needs to be done. Parents play the largest role in a person’s mental, emotional, physical, and social development. They teach you the first valuable lessons in life that became an integral part of your personality as you continue to discover the world. They get involved with your education and happy to see you achieve and discover potentials.
