mood and activities?
❏ What may have caused the child to be in this situation?
❏ Have you been in this situation before? How did you feel?
❏ What would you do to be/or not to be in this similar situation?

III. Making clear

● When you were younger, you did not have to think much about your health. Your parents, teachers, and
other caring adults looked out for your health. They made sure that you ate the right food, had regular
medical checkup and immunizations, and other health practices.
● As an adolescent, your personal health now becomes your responsibility. Every day you make health
decisions so it is very important that you know correct health information. It is therefore, your responsibility
to use health information wisely to guide your day- to-day activities.
● Before you can say that you are in good health or you possess holistic health, you must first understand
the different dimensions of holistic health. These dimensions are physical health, mental health, emotional
health, social health, and moral-spiritual health.
■ Physical Health - means how well your body functions. It means you can carry out everyday
tasks without becoming too tired. It also means you have enough energy to enjoy activities and
 to meet emergencies. It means developing healthful habits and avoiding destructive habits, such
as smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages and taking dangerous drugs and harmful substances.
You want to know the secret? Here are some tips you can use to attain physical health:
✔ Eat nutritious meals and drink eight glasses of water every day.
✔ Get 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity each day.
✔ Sleep for eight hours every night.
✔ Take a bath daily, and do not forget to brush your teeth after every meal.
✔ Avoid using tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs.
■ Mental Health - means being a lifelong learner by continuously wanting to learn new things and
improve one’s skills. A mentally healthy person is open to new ideas and experiences that can
improve personal, family, and community life.
■ Emotional Health - involves understanding and liking yourself as well as accepting and learning
from your mistakes. It refers to how well you meet the demands of daily life and how you adjust
to new situations. It also means expressing your happiness, love, joy and hope as well as your
sadness, anger, stress and fear in healthful productive ways. You can best practice these when
you:
✔ face life’s problems squarely
✔ handle stress and seek help, if needed
✔ express your emotions in positive ways
✔ deal with life’s pressures and stresses in positive ways
✔ build strong communication network among family, friends and peers
■ Social Health - Refers to how well you get along with other people. This can be observed when
you —
✔ make and keep friends
✔ play/work well with a group
✔ give and get help from others when needed
✔ communicate well and show respect and care for yourself and others

■ Moral-Spiritual Health - means being at peace and in harmony with yourself, others and a higher
power or bigger reality. What you feel, think and say what you believe in or value are shown in
how you act. It refers to your personal beliefs, values, and faith.
 ● There will be times when you will make decisions that deal with issues of right and wrong. Sometimes it will be
difficult to decide because what is right or wrong is not clearly defined. But as you grow and become more
mature, you will gain knowledge and experiences that will give you new insights and ways of looking at things
or situations.
● Seeking guidance from parents, teachers, religious leaders, and other responsible adults will help you in
making difficult choices. It is a sign of good character if you act according to a set of high ethical principles.
You will gain respect and trust from others if you demonstrate good character. Moral-spiritual health, together
with the other dimensions, will help you attain holistic health.
