Holistic development it basically means the improvement of intellectual, mental, physical, enthusiastic and social abilities in a child so he/ she  could be able to face all the request and difficulties of everyday life.

Reading this study unit  has been much interesting for me as I have discovered a lot that will help me in future as a foundation phase teacher. I've a learned about these theories.

1.Erikson's stages of psychosocial development.

2. Piaget's cognitive development theory.

3. Vygotsky and zone of proximal development.

There are also elements of holistic development and they are;

a) Physical development- dancing and playing instruments.

b) Cognitive development- learners learn to solve problems and think creatively.

c) Social development- It create social interaction amongst learners and build relationships between them.

d) Personal development- build confidence and development self-esteem and identity.
