Understanding the emotional well-being of children and promoting it is essential for teachers. When children are well-balanced, emotionally stable, and happy their learning is enhanced. Positive emotional health is correlated to success.
Holistic education understands the child as a "whole" and as an individual. Education is not about the acquisition of facts but about the overall learning and the application of what is learned to real life. Students need to be in the right state of mind to be able to do this.
"Happiness gives people the perception of success, encouraging them to keep moving"
"We believe students learn best when they are pursuing interests and passions in a cooperative rather than competitive environment. Students have considerable freedom to determine their own goals. Our approach emphasizes how to think rather than what to think. We believe education must be seen as part of life and not merely a preparation for life. Learning as an experience is of value in and of itself." Liberty School, ME
