Holistic In A Child

When looking at a child from holistic point of view you must take several things into account.  This approach by definition means” all or total” that includes income, family, parental education, social interaction, housing, and several other things.  When viewing a child holistically I take somewhat the same approach.  I have a 9 year old nephew that had a slight speech problem.  He has been receiving speech therapy since he was 3 years old.  Early on he was tested for autism as well dyslexia.  He is a very intelligent young man he simply has a learning disability.  Early on my family and his teachers had to learn a new approach as to evaluating him.  That is when I learned of a holistic approach. My nephew is the most wholesome child in the world and he sees everything in a child-like state.  He sees the good and is still at the developmental pace of a child. We teach him on the level as other children his age and he is not behind.  It does take him longer to grasp the concept of some things more than others.  We do have to learn new approaches and sometimes do what we call “old school learning”.  This is the way we were taught and some of those methods still hold true.  When the school evaluates him they evaluate his demeanor, attitude to learning.  They also evaluate and acknowledge the fact that he has very hands on family who are involved in his education.  If not, they would be able to see a decline in his learning growth.  I didnot research other countries or regions but I work with a Radiologist that is Korean  and I asked him about holistic with his three boys, He said he donot believe in holistically in a child and not just him he said that's the way korea peoples think in general. Their main concern with theier childrens are they getting the grades and doing what is expected of them in school. No matter a child has a disability or is labeled with some sort of disable,they do not treat them any different than normal kids. The Radiologist name is Dr. Michael Ko,D.O.
