‘Wholistic’ is a word coined to describe the integration of a healthy approach when meeting the needs of the whole child: mind, body and spirit. Parenting in the 21st Century can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. Expectations of raising a healthy, well adjusted, and bright child are extremely high. The pressures on busy parents to be well informed and to follow positive parenting strategies can be confusing when diverse and sometimes contradictory messages are encountered. The articles and websites included in this section seek to provide resources for ‘wholistic’ parenting, information about the highly sensitive children developing in our world today, and ways to enhance the healthy growth and development of all our little people.
