 LEARNING MODULE IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Week 1 to Week 2
Academic Break

Week 3
CONTENT/ TOPIC Personal Relationships
Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
a. Define personal relationship; and
b. Identify ways to become responsible in a relationship.

LESSON 1: PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

A. Motivation
We are social creatures living in an interconnected ecosystem. As person’s, we need different
relationships around us including personal relationships. In this lesson will guide you to topics
regarding acceptable and unacceptable love relationship, and tips on how to become responsible in a
relationship.
Before we start in our lesson, let’s try to answer the following questions:
1. Nasubukan mo na bang ma-inlove? Ano ang feeling?
2. Do you think personal relationship is important in shaping your identity? Why or Why not?
3. What are your reasons in engaging yourself to such relationships?
4. Are you ready to engage in personal relationships?

B. Content

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

The personal relationships refer to close connections between

people, formed by emotional bonds and interactions. These bonds
often grow from and are strengthened by mutual experiences.
Relationships are not static; they are continually evolving, and to
fully enjoy and benefit from them we need skills, information,
inspiration, practice, and social support.

THREE KINDS OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Family
The concept of "family" is an essential component in any discussion of relationships,
but this varies greatly from person to person. The Bureau of the Census defines
family as "two or more persons who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption and
who live together as one household." But many people have family they don't live
with or to whom they are not bonded by love, and the roles of family vary across
cultures as well as throughout your own lifetime. Some typical characteristics of a
family are support, mutual trust, regular interactions, shared beliefs and values,
security, and a sense of community.

Friendship
A friendship can be thought of as a close tie between two people that is often built
upon mutual experiences, shared interests, proximity, and emotional bonding.
Friends are able to turn to each other in times of need. Nicholas Christakis and
James Fowler, social-network researchers and authors of the book Connected, find
that the average person has about six close ties—though some have more, and
many have only one or none.

 Partnership
Partnership is close relationships formed between two people that are built upon
affection, trust, intimacy, and romantic love. We usually experience this kind of
relationship with only one person at a time.

Personal Relationship does not only involve your romantic relationship (boyfriend, girlfriend) but
it includes your family and friends. I would also like to add our relationship with God. This is very
important because all your relationships may fail but your relationship with God will always be there.
It can also save your other relationships. Always remember that you are not alone.

In your personal relationships, how many of you give importance so much on their romantic
relationship? How many of you feel pressure to have a romantic partner seeing that your friends have one?
How many of you are distracted because you need to give time to your partners especially that you are in
LDR because of this pandemic? Let us understand more concepts to further understand your feelings and
give you hope for you to be less pressured, and for you to think and reflect before entering in a
relationship.

The Difference Between Love and Infatuation

There is a very big difference between infatuation and being in love:
Love Infatuation

and still loving them all the same. you are attracted to and immediately feel there is

3. It is a practice where you feel a permanent 3. It is temporary emotion which usually adolescents

4. In the scripture Love is defined in 1
Corinthians 13:4-7
Elements of Love:
• Care
• Responsibility
• Respect
• Knowledge

To further understand what is love is let us know what are the Languages of Love by Dr. Gary Chapman.
According to Dr. Chapman there are 5 different ways to show love and improve your relationship.

The Languages of Love

Words of When words of affirmation is your love language, words build you up. You thrive on
Affirmation spoken affection, praise, encouragement, and compliments. Harsh words and
criticism can bother you for a long time.

Acts of Service Anything that your partner does willingly to ease your workload is a sign of love to
you. You feel cared for when your partner vacuums before you get to it or makes
you breakfast as a surprise. On the other hand, broken promises or laziness can
make you feel unimportant.

Receiving Gifts When you speak this love language, a thoughtful gift shows to you that you are
special. In contrast, generic gifts and forgotten special events have the opposite
effect. This love language isn’t necessarily materialistic – it could be as simple as
receiving your favorite snack after a bad day.

Quality Time To you, nothing says you’re loved like undivided attention. When your partner is
truly present (and not looking at their phone), it makes you feel important. Failure to
actively listen or long periods without one-on-one time can make you feel unloved.

 Physical Touch Holding hands, kisses, hugs, and other touches are your preferred way to show and
receive love. Appropriate touches convey warmth and safety, while physical neglect
can drive a wedge between you and your partner.

Importance of Personal Relationship

Live longer. A review of 148 studies found that people with strong personal relationships are 50% less likely
to die prematurely. Similarly, Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones research calculates that committing to a life partner
can add 3 years to life expectancy (Researchers Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler have found that men’s
life expectancy benefits from marriage more than women’s do.)
Deal with stress. The support offered by a caring friend can provide a buffer against the effects of stress. In
a study of over 100 people, researchers found that people who completed a stressful task experienced a faster
recovery when they were reminded of people with whom they had strong relationships. (Those who were
reminded of stressful relationships, on the other hand, experienced even more stress and higher blood
pressure.)
Be healthier. According to research by psychologist Sheldon Cohen, college students who reported having
strong relationships were half as likely to catch a common cold when exposed to the virus. In addition, 2012
international Gallup poll found that people who feel they have friends and family to count on are generally
more satisfied with their personal health than people who feel isolated. And hanging out with healthy people
increases your own likelihood of health—in their book Connected, Christakis and Fowler show that non-obese
people are more likely to have non-obese friends because healthy habits spread through our social networks.
Feel richer. A survey by the National Bureau of Economic Research of 5,000 people found that doubling your
group of friends has the same effect on your wellbeing as a 50% increase in income!

IF Love is a Game, these are the Rules: 10 Rules for Finding Love and Creating Long-Lasting, Authentic
Relationships By: Carter-Scott, Cherie

1. YOU MUST LOVE YOURSELF FIRST Your relationship with yourself is the central template from which all
others are formed. Loving yourself is a prerequisite to creating a successful and authentic union with another.

2. PARTNERING IS A CHOICE MUST NURTURE THE RELATIONSHIP FOR IT TO THRIVE The choice to
be in a relationship is up to you. You have the ability to attract your beloved and cause the relationship you
desire to happen.

3. CREATING LOVE IS A PROCESS Moving from “I” to “we” requires a shift in perspective and energy. Being
an authentic couple is an evolution.

4. RELATIONSHIPS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW Your relationship will serve as an unofficial “life
shop” in which you will learn about yourself and how you can grow on your personal path.

5. COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL The open exchange of thoughts and feelings is the lifeblood of your
relationship.

6. NEGOTIATION WILL BE REQUIRED There will be times when you and your partner must work through
impasses. If you do this consciously and with respect, you will learn to create win-win outcomes.

7. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL BE CHALLENGED BY CHANGE Life will present turns in the road. How you
maneuver those twists and turns determines the success of your relationship.

8. YOU MUST NURTURE THE RELATIONSHIP FOR IT TO THRIVE Treasure your beloved and your
relationship will flourish.

9. RENEWAL IS THE KEY TO LONGEVITY Happily ever after means the ability to keep the relationship fresh
and vital.

10. YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS THE MOMENT YOU FALL IN LOVE You know all these rules inherently.
The challenge is to remember them when you fall under the enchanting spell of love.

LEARN TO SAY “NO”

The stage you are in now makes you aggressive in many things, even in wanting to have sex. Thus, it resulted
to high rate of teenage pregnancy. To have sex, is up to you alone and you alone to decide. Therefore, don’t

photocopying, recording, mimeographing or by any information and retrieval system, without written permission.
be afraid to say "no" if that’s how you feel. Having sex for the first time can be a huge emotional event. Before
you actually get "in the heat of the moment", you may want to sort out these questions and feelings first:

Am I really ready to have sex?

Ask How am I going to feel after I have sex?
yourself: Am I doing this for the right reasons?
How do I plan to protect myself/my partner from sexually transmitted infections or
pregnancy?
How am I going to feel about my partner afterwards?

The way of showing someone you love them is not through sex, there are countless nonsexual ways to
show someone you love them. You can show a person you care for them by spending time with them. Go to
the malls, parks or eat in a restaurant, talk and hang out together. If you are with someone you really like,
then anything can be fun.

There are also ways to feel physically close without having sex. These include everything from kissing and
hugging to touching each other. Just remember that if you're not careful these activities can lead to sex. Plan
beforehand just how far you want to go, and stick to your limits. It can be difficult to say "No" and mean it
when things get hot and heavy. If he/she disagree with you and really pressure you, that person do not
respect you.

Talk to your parents and ask them about your concerns. Do not be shy and open up. The truth is that most
parents want to help their kids make smart decisions about sex. They know it's vital for teens to have accurate
information and sound advice to aid the decision-making process.

It's OK to want to enjoy your teen years and all the fun times that can be had. It's OK to respect
yourself enough to say, "No, I'm not ready to have sex." There is nothing wrong being in a relationship, have
a healthy and responsible relationship.

Week 6
CONTENT/ TOPIC Family Legacies
Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
a. Explain hereditary factor’s; and
b. Create one’s own genogram.

LESSON 1: FAMILY LEGACIES

A. Motivation
In our past lesson, we learned about Family Structures wherein we identify what kind of
structures our family is. In this lesson we will continue to discover and understand what our Family
Legacies are.
B. Content

No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have one
thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional and spiritual legacy passed
FAMILY
on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives out a heritage, and
LEGACY gives a heritage to our family. It’s not an option. Parents always pass to their children
a legacy … good, bad or some of both.

The Emotional Legacy

→ In order to prosper, you need an enduring sense of security and stability nurtured in an environment
SHS Departmental Learning Module in Personal Development Page 8 of 14

 of safety and love.
→ Sadly, many of you struggle to overcome a negative emotional legacy that hinders our ability to cope
with the inevitable struggles of life. But imagine yourself giving warm family memories to your child.
You can create an atmosphere that provides a child’s fragile spirit with the nourishment and support
needed for healthy emotional growth. It will require time and consistency to develop a sense of
emotional wholeness, but the rewards are great.

A strong emotional legacy:

✓ Provides a safe environment in which deep emotional roots can grow.
✓ Fosters confidence through stability.
✓ Conveys a tone of trusting support.
✓ Nurtures a strong sense of positive identity.
✓ Creates a “resting place” for the soul.
✓ Demonstrates unconditional love.

The Social Legacy

→ In order to prosper, our children need to gain the insights and social skills necessary to cultivate
healthy, stable relationships. As children mature, they must learn to relate to family members,
teachers, peers and friends. Eventually they must learn to relate to co-workers and many other types
of people such as salespeople, bankers, mechanics and bosses.
→ Nowhere can appropriate social interaction and relationships be demonstrated more effectively than in
the home. At home you learned — and your children will learn — lessons about respect, courtesy, love
and involvement. Our modelling as parents plays a key role in passing on a strong social legacy.

Key building blocks of children’s social legacy include:

✓ Respect, beginning with themselves and working out to other people.
✓ Responsibility, fostered by respect for themselves, that is cultivated by assigning children duties within
the family, making them accountable for their actions, and giving them room to make wrong choices
once in a while.
✓ Unconditional love and acceptance by their parents, combined with conditional acceptance when the
parents’ discipline for bad behavior or actions.
✓ The setting of social boundaries concerning how to relate to God, authority, peers, the environment
and siblings.
✓ Rules that are given within a loving relationship
The Spiritual Legacy

→ As spiritual beings, we adopt attitudes and beliefs about spiritual matters from one source or another.
As parents, we need to take the initiative and present our faith to our children.
→ Parents who successfully pass along a spiritual legacy to their children model and reinforce the unseen
realities of the godly life. We must recognize that passing a spiritual legacy means more than
encouraging our children to attend church, as important as that is. The church is there to support
parents in raising their children but it cannot do the raising; only parents can.

Here are five things you do that predict whether your children will receive the spiritual
legacy a Christian parent desires. Do you:

1. Acknowledge and reinforce spiritual realities? Do your children know, for example, that Jesus loves
everyone? That God is personal, loving and will forgive us?
2. View God as a personal, caring being who is to be loved and respected?
3. Make spiritual activities a routine part of life?
4. Clarify timeless truth — what’s right and wrong?
5. Incorporate spiritual principles into everyday living.

GENOGRAM
Is a graphic representation of a family tree that displays detailed data on relationships among individuals. It
goes beyond a traditional family tree by allowing the user to analyze hereditary patterns and psychological
factors that punctuate relationships.

A career goal is based on skills, education, experience, interests, and job trends. When setting a

your interest and passion and identify the valued that drives you.

Use the acronym SMART or SMARTER in setting your goals.

when and if needed.

PERSONALITY AND CAREER

Personality is the source of a person’s attitude exhibited in the workplace over the years. Different
personality types differ in their relevance with the nature of job requirements and career success.

Career is the progress and actions taken by a person throughout a lifetime, especially those related to those
occupations. A person may get into a work because one found a good match with life his/her goals, skills,
personalities and interests.

If you are trying to decide on what career to pursue, then you should find out what your personality type is.
Certain jobs or occupation are more suitable for particular types than others are. However, personality should
not be the sole factor to consider when you’re choosing a career. A thorough self-assessment is needed to
identify your values, interests and aptitudes. Personality, values, interests, and aptitude all taken together
serve to find the right career, better than just any one of these factors alone.
