Developing the Whole Person

Human development is the way that people change and grow

across their life span. There are many types of development that people
go through. As children learn problem-solving skills, their cognitive (or
thinking) development grows. When people age, they often develop
wisdom, which means they are better able to handle stress, a process
that is part of emotional development.

Before we proceed to the lesson, let me ask first, “How well do you know
yourself?” Have you noticed those “changes” within yourself, and how do
you react to those developments?

Life seems to have become a bewildering maze at times. Thus, you try
to reflect on your common beliefs. Amidst these developments, it helps
recognize how the different physiological, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and
social developments are in a dynamic relationship. By recognizing such
changes, you can understand and evaluate your thoughts.

The following section discusses how to develops one’s personality and to
make it well balanced.

Five Areas of Personal Development

Area Development
Physiological development Refers to physical changes in the
body as well as the senses and
changes in skills related to
movement.
Emotional development It has something to do with the
feelings that you experience.
Social development It is about our innate capacity to
relate with others, to connect, and to
feel the sense of belongingness
Cognitive development Refers to a person’s intellectual
abilities as shown in his/her
thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and
values.
Spiritual development It is discovering oneself beyond the
ego known as the soul, spirit, or the
“inner essence” that is often
disregarded or taken for granted. It is
experiencing a glimpse of the “inner
guide” of one’s beliefs and values in
discovering the meaning of life.

PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
Physical health is defined as the condition of your body, taking into
consideration everything from the absence of disease to fitness level.
Physical health is critical for overall well-being and can be affected by:
• Lifestyle: diet, level of physical activity, and behavior (eating unhealthy
foods);
• Human biology: a person’s genetics and physiology may make it easier or
harder to achieve good physical health;
• Environment: our surroundings and exposure to factors such as sunlight
or toxic substances; and
• Healthcare service: good healthcare can help prevent illness, as well as to

11
detect and treat illness.

 It is important to take care of your body. Live healthy, eat healthy
foods, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid drugs and alcohol.
Manage stress and go for regular medical check-ups. Practice good hygiene.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Physiological Development.

1. How healthy is your physical body?
2. Does it get enough rest and sleep?
3. Is it given nutritional food and sufficient water to help the
physiological system do its functions more optimally?
4. What aches and pains does your body suffer?
5. When was your last medical check-up?
6. What are the common illnesses in your family?
7. If you look into generations before, what sickness plagued your
ancestors?
8. In the pandemic crisis, do you consider yourself safe from such
viruses and diseases?

EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Emotional health is an important part of overall health. Emotionally
healthy people are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They
can cope with life’s challenges. Emotions are responses that generate
biochemical reactions in our bodies, changing the physical state.
There are many ways to improve or maintain good emotional health.
• Be aware of your emotions and reactions. Notice what in your life
makes you sad, frustrated, or angry. Try to address or change those
things.
• Think before you act. Emotions can be powerful. Give yourself time to
think, and be calm before you say or do something you might regret.
• Manage stress. Try to change situations, causing you stress. Learn
relaxation methods to cope with stress.
• Strive for balance. Find a healthy balance between work and play and
between activity and rest. Make time for things you enjoy. Focus on

11
positive things in your life.
• Take care of your physical health. Your physical health can affect your
emotional health. Exercise regularly, eat healthy meals and get enough
sleep. Do not abuse drugs or alcohol.

 • Connect with others. We are social creatures. We need positive
connections with other people.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Emotional Development:

Your own experiences when you are___________________________
-happy
-sad
-afraid
-surprised
-angry
-disgusted

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Social Development refers to how people develop social and emotional
skills across the lifespan, with particular attention to childhood and
adolescence. Healthy social development allows us to form positive
relationships with family, friends, teachers, and other people in our lives.
As person develop and perceive its individuality within a community,
he/she also gains skills to communicate with other people and process
his/her actions. Social development most often refers to how a person
develops friendships and other relationships and how a person handles
conflict with peers.
Why is social development important?
Social development can impact many other forms of development a
person experiences. Healthy social development allows us to form positive
relationships with family, friends, teachers, and other people.
Healthy social development can help you:
• Develop Communication Skills. An ability to interact with others allows
for more opportunities to practice communications skills
• Build self-esteem. When a person is unable to make friends, it can be
frustrating or even painful. A good circle of friends reinforces a person’s
comfort level with her individuality.

11
• Strengthen learning skills. Studies show that children who have a hard
time getting along with classmates as early as a preschool are more likely
to experience later academic difficulties.

5
 • Resolve conflicts. Stronger self-esteem and better language skills can
ultimately lead to a better ability to resolve differences with peers.
• Establish a positive attitude. A positive attitude ultimately leads to
better relationships with others and higher levels of self-confidence.
Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Emotional Development
1. How is your relationship with your parents?
2. Do you consider yourself as friendly? Why?
3. How do you interact with other people? Are you outgoing?
4. Do you feel belongingness in your family, school, peers?

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Cognitive development means how people think, explore, and figure
things out. It is the development of knowledge, skills, problem-solving, and
dispositions, which helps a person to think about and understand the world
around them. Brain development is part of cognitive development. This
aspect of the self is enhanced when one attends school to study and learn or
engages in other mental endeavors.
Mental abilities are developed by engaging in intellectual pursuits
such as studies, work, and figuring out how best to deal with challenges—
thinking, planning, organizing, evaluating, and maximizing cognitive
abilities. The more we study, the more we learn; while the more we learn,
the more we can study better.
Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Cognitive Development
1. Have you experienced mistakes in the choices you made? How do you
deal with these situations?
2. What is your attitude towards your study habits?
3. Are you doing well in your studies?

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Spiritual development is defined as discovering oneself beyond the ego
known as the soul, spirit, or the “inner essence” that is often disregarded or
taken for granted (Llaneza-Ramos, 2017). It is when one experiences a

11
glimpse of the “inner guide” of one’s beliefs and values as one discovers the
meaning of life. It also allows people to connect with a Higher Power that is
called by many names like "God, Buddha, Allah.” “We are Christians, we are
committed to the poor, we value people, we are partners, and are
responsive.” As we grow spiritually, our attitude toward life also changes for

6
the better in many ways. Most of our problems stem from our perceptions
and expectations of ourselves and of the world. One will realize that this
solves half the problems of our life. Spiritual growth and development help
us to imbibe humility. Spirituality and inner peace is a way of life. It helps
us to develop great strength and courage. Spiritual growth and development
help to make human beings better citizens.
Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Spiritual Development
1. How can you tell that you believe in “God”?
2. What are the things you do that manifest your spiritual development?
