AO2 A

Opening paragraph:
Children are very hard to work with as they have not grown up and matured yet and because of this they can occur regular mood changes, also have short attention span which can cause them to be distracted easily, if the child is distracted it disrupts the rest of the class. You can also come across different type of personalities of the children some maybe very loud and others shy and sat in the corner, these two types deter you to have a different approach of communication towards them. Parents can be seen as narrow minded because they think their children are angles, this can result to them being unfair as in they could be being a bit unrealistic, this can course some communication problems as it is important for
It is important in early years especially because younger children take on everything they see as something, say you were talking to the child and you had your arms crossed it is not giving of an upbeat message all it is doing is making them feel less likely to listen as you are not giving them the idea of enthusiasm. Whereas if you had more of an open posture they would seem more enamoured to trust and participate in your lesson rather than tuning out. If you look at someone else’s posture you can always tell what type of mood they are in, if they were slouching in their chair they are not showing concentration or participence in the class whereas if they were sat up giving ideas and helping one another they are interested and willing to participate.

Thoughts like this make it difficult to properly hear and interpret the speaker’s words and can deny both parties the opportunity for deeper understanding and to resolve potential misunderstandings. ‘Mostly when people are speaking, they are showing feelings, not just information and facts. When the listener responds back to the facts while ignoring the feelings, this can leave the speaker with an unsatisfied sense that their feelings haven’t been seen, understood or cared about hence leading to tension between listener and speaker’. This can subsequently make it more difficult for the speaker to then listen actively when it’s their turn to listen.Yet when the listener has tuned in to the feelings being expressed, as well as the information and facts, and shows a good attempt to acknowledge those feelings, then the speaker may gain more satisfaction and hence in turn feel more open and positive as the communication continues. Young children don’t tend to use much active listening as their minds are all over the place and making up random stories whenever it chooses, so active listening does not respond well to
