Hi I have a question in my module that says * List ways you can work with the children in your your care in a holistic philosophical framework???

This is the 8th module I am on and this is pretty muchthe only question that I am really stuck on.


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I know holisitc is the present moment but not sure about the present with the EYLF but I am a bit confused as to what my answer should even look like.

I have attached an excerpt from the EYLF in relation to holistic learning. It may help put you on the right track:

Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) describes:
Holistic approaches to teaching and learning recognize the connectedness of mind, body and spirit. When early childhood educators take a holistic approach they pay attention to children’s physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning. While educators may plan or assess with a focus on a particular outcome or component of learning, they see children’s learning as integrated and interconnected. They recognize the connections between children, families and communities and the importance of reciprocal relationships and partnerships for learning. They see learning as a social activity and value collaborative learning and community participation. An integrated, holistic approach to teaching and learning also focuses on connections to the natural world. Educators foster children’s capacity to understand and respect the natural environment and the interdependence between people, plants, animals and the land (DEEWR, 2009).
I hope this gives you a starting point.
