Abstract
This article explores notions of holism and acknowledges that different cultures and societies have a wide range of beliefs of what holism might be, how it is practiced and how it can be supported. Te Whāriki (Ministry of Education, 2017) is a holistic curriculum in its own right and yet it is important to acknowledge the cultural differences that shape varying forms of holism when working with children and families. Kaiako in Aotearoa are entrusted with fostering the learning and wellbeing of children from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and their openness to the different forms of holism and wellbeing are required to ensure that all voices are heard and that all families can feel supported. The authors recognise the challenges that particularly beginning hanau might face as they navigate a range of holistic health and wellbeing models that families practice and the commitment they have while taking guidance from Te Whāriki (Ministry of Education)
