Dr. Farida Sheikh – Holistic Education Expert, M.B.B.S, PGCE, NPQLT, QTS
As a holistic education expert, I work with teachers and parents to create inclusive and supportive learning environments. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve led CPD training across the UK, Pakistan, and AJ&K, focusing on strategies that help every child thrive in a holistic learning environment.
I believe in building partnerships between educators and families, rooted in trust, cultural awareness, and growth — all within the framework of holistic education. My goal is to empower children, parents, and educators through a holistic approach that nurtures every aspect of a child’s development.

Why Holistic Education Matters
Turning Holistic Education Into Action for the Whole Child

The Tricycle Model for Holistic Learning
The Tricycle Model for Holistic Learning strengthens the connection between home and school, placing the whole child at the center of education. Grounded in Collaboration, Inclusivity, Adaptability, and Reflection, this model empowers both teachers and parents to co-create supportive, growth-focused environments that foster holistic development across all learning settings.

The Holistic
3A’s of Learning
The Holistic 3A’s of Learning foster emotional and motivational growth by creating a positive Atmosphere, empowering Attitudes, and promoting Purposeful Action. Rooted in holistic education, the 3A’s guide educators and parents in building safe, engaging, and growth-focused learning environments that nurture the whole child, ensuring long-term success and development.

The Holistic Wall of Knowledge
The Holistic Wall of Knowledge builds a strong foundation across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. By identifying and addressing learning gaps early, this model helps children grow through balanced, inclusive, and domain-specific support, fostering holistic development at every step of their learning journey, ensuring a well-rounded and resilient foundation for future success.

The Holistic
Teaching Cycle
Adapted from Ann Gravells’ original model, the Holistic Teaching Cycle offers a reflective structure for planning, delivering, and reviewing learning. With five stages, it supports inclusive strategies and continuous improvement — addressing the needs of the whole child at every step, promoting a collaborative approach that strengthens the learning process for all involved, ensuring educational success.
What Educators and Readers Are Saying
From verified Amazon reviews to CPD course testimonials, parents and teachers are embracing Holistic Education for Parents and Teachers through Dr. Farida Sheikh’s impactful work.
"This book is a gem for anyone working with children. It’s practical, relatable, and really made me reflect on my own approach to teaching."

"Unveils the real connection between home, school, and the child’s behaviour. Ideal for teachers and parents."

"A clear, flexible framework that balances emotional, physical, and cognitive development while strengthening the teacher-parent connection."

"This book invites parents and teachers to act together. The tricycle analogy perfectly explains holistic growth — emotional, physical, and intellectual."
"As an early years teacher in Lahore, I found the ECCE course deeply impactful. The training helped me understand the importance of play-based learning and child development in a much more structured way. It has changed how I plan activities and engage with both children and their parents."
"This SEND course was an eye-opener. I teach in a mainstream school where we don’t have many resources, but this training gave me practical strategies I could apply immediately with children who struggle. The section on behaviour and differentiated instruction was especially helpful."
"Being a secondary school teacher, I often feel we are left behind when it comes to modern teaching strategies. This course gave me tools to integrate technology, promote student collaboration, and build a growth mindset. It’s one of the most relevant trainings I’ve attended."
"This course helped me completely rethink how I approach my classroom. I used to rely heavily on lectures, but now I incorporate student-led learning and digital tools confidently. The examples were realistic and the templates made implementation easy."
