Concept Notes:

“HUMAN DEVELOPMENT”- focuses on the human growth and changes across the
lifespan, including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality, and
emotional growth.
The study of human development is essential to understanding how humans learn,
mature and adapt. Throughout their lives, humans go through various stages of
development.
The human being is either in a state of growth or decline, but either condition imparts
change. Some aspects of our life change very little over time, are consistent. Other
aspects change dramatically. By understanding these changes, we can better respond
and plan ahead effectively.

Activity: MY PERSONAL TIMELINE

A personal timeline portrays the influential events and happenings of a person’s


life so that he can understand where he has gone wrong and right in the past. It helps
to plan the future in a better constructive way.

Using a bond paper, write the major events in your life and the significant people
in your life. you may add your age, specific dates and places, you may draw the timeline
horizontally, vertically, diagonally or even using ups and down depending on your
imagination. Be creative in your representations. You may also use symbols, figures,
and drawings. Think of a title of your personal timeline.

You may use crayons or art materials depending on the available resources or
just a simple paper and pen may be fine. You can also go for the personal timeline

Living Mindfully

Living mindfully is like being an artist: you need the right tools to practice your

and fulfilling way of life.

Concept Notes:
What is Stress?
Stress is defined as a reaction of the mind and body to stimulus that disturbs
the well-being, state of calm, or equilibrium of a person. There is a common belief that
stress is unhealthy, but discussions among experts conclude that this is not entirely
the case. Psychologist have agreed that small and sporadic amounts of stress can be
helpful and beneficial to individuals, while excessive amounts of stress sustained over
a lengthy period of time can be destructive to both physical and mental health.
Healthy Stress
These types of stress can motivate, energize, and spur an individual into fruitful
action. Example, speaking in front of an audience is a healthy type of stress as it pushes
the speaker to prepare and be an effective speaker. Other types of healthy stress would
be competing sports. Healthy stress can propel the competing individual to perform
better.
Bad Stress
It can be transformed into good stress depending on how an individual assesses
the situation. Adolescent students, who are in constant stressful situations particularly
related to school work and relationships, should learn some coping mechanisms to
assist them in their development toward healthy adult life.
What are the usual Stressors of Middle and Late Adolescents?
1. School Demands and Expectations
2. Selecting School, College Course, or Career
3. Separation Anxiety
4. College Life
5. Romantic Relationship or the Lack of It
6. Family Demands and Expectations
7. Health Concerns
8. Demands of Social Life
9. Bullying
Coping may also be a combination of both problem-focused and emotional-focused
remedies. Here are some examples: Conduct creative imagery of the problem, Seek group
or social support, Get into relaxation activities like breathing exercises, Create situation
where you can feel more relaxed like a quiet environment or a comfortable position, and
project a passive attitude toward the stressor, Learn to manage your time, and Eat
properly by selecting nutritious, healthy foods.

Concept Notes:
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Dictionary definition do not quite capture the meaning of stress as it is seen and
experienced in the world of work. One of the Webster’s definitions describes it as an
“emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.”
A practical way of defining stress is the feeling one gets from prolonged, pent-up
emotions. If the emotions you experience are pleasant and desirable – joy, elation,
ecstasy, delight – you usually feel free lo let them show. They are not suppressed.
Therefore, positive emotions do not usually cause stress. Negative emotions, on the
other hand, are more often held inside. They are hidden. You suffer quietly and you
experience stress. Do not confuse positive situations with positive emotions. A wedding
for example, is a positive situation that often brings about the negative emotions of
anxiety and tension. So, stress can exist in great situations.

Activity: STRESS SIGNALS

Take a look at the warning signs of stress listed on the table below. Check each
of the warning signs that applies to you. when you are finished checking your warning
signs, discuss your list with someone you trust, and answer the following questions:

1. How much stress do you think you are currently under?

Concept Notes:
STRESS RESPONSE

Your stress response is the collection of physiological changes that occur when
you face a perceived threat-when you face situations where you feel the demands
outweigh your resources to successfully cope. These situations are known as stressors.

When your stress response is triggered, a series of changes occur within your
body. They include:

1. Redirection of blood away from extremities and instead of major organs.


2. The release of cortisol and other hormones, which bring other short-and long-
term changes
3. The stress response is intended to give you a burst of energy so you’re able to
fight off attackers or run away from them effectively.
4. This helped our ancestors, who faced numerous physical threats, to stay safe.

Activity: QUIET TIME

Find a place in your home (in your room or in any spot in your house that is
quiet) for you to spend 15 minutes of quiet time. Play calm music from your cellphone
or radio. You may put your head on a wall, bark of a tree, or simply lean in your
arm, until you feel more relax.

After 15 minutes of quiet time, simply think your experience how you felt before,
during, and after. Write you answer on the box below.

Concept Notes:
KEEP STRESS UNDER CONTROL

There are many effective ways to handle stress. Of course, you can’t avoid stress
– in fact, you wouldn’t want to avoid all stress, because you’d never grow. However, you
can manage your life so that you survive the emotional down times without allowing
stress to engulf you. Also, you can work to eliminate controllable stress factors, such as
running late or not getting enough sleep. But when stress is constant or too great, your
wisest option is to find ways to reduce or control it. You need not, and should not, live
your life in emotional stress and discomfort. Stress can be successfully managed. Here
are some tips: Understand the Causes of Stress, Analyze your Stress Factors and Write
Them Down, Deal with the Stressors, Learn to Work Under Pressure or Unusual
Conditions.

Concept Notes:

Ned Herrmann labeled the four quadrants of the brain as:

1. Upper Left (A) Cerebral Mode – key word for this quadrant is Analytical
2. Lower Left (B) Limbic Mode – key word for this quadrant is Organized
3. Lower Right (C) Limbic Mode – key word for this quadrant is Interpersonal
4. Upper Right (D) Limbic System – key word for this quadrant is Imaginative

Based on this model, Ned Herrmann developed the Herrmann Brain Dominance
Instrument (HBDI), a 120 question survey instrument that measured the preference
strengths of the four quadrants. This is very useful in identifying occupational profiles
(Herrmann International). Herrmann was not trying to differentiate the functions of
the quadrants and how the brain works. Instead, he pointed out the preferences of
styles in thinking. Real life application of this is in solving problems and taking a
different approach to finding solutions through more creative problem solving.

MIND MAPPING

Organizing information and concepts through the use of maps or diagrams has been a
practice among thinkers as early as the third century. Educators, planners, engineers,
and other professionals had been using these pictorial methods throughout the
centuries that followed. According to Dictionary.com, “A mind map is a diagram used to
represent ideas or information branching from a central key word or idea and used as
an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision-making, and writing.”

According to the website www.mindmapping.com, there are five essential characteristics


of mind mapping:

1. The center image represents the main idea, subject, or focus.


2. The main branches radiate from the central image.
3. The branches comprise a key image or word drawn or printed on its line.
4. Twigs represent the lesser topics.
5. The branches form a connected nodal structure.
