It is as important to maintain these new relationships , particularly as these children are trusting you and their parents are trusting you whilst they are in your care.

Teaching is an art that both parents and teachers need to understand and be able to craft in their own way, yet be able to reach their children or students so they can be successful. This book “How to Talk So Kids Can Learn” demonstrates different areas of need that can make a child sensitive to learning or opening up to be comfortable with a person or an environment. Each chapter explains a situation and how many teachers or parents may approach it, but then they dissect the situations to examine how they could better approach the child to make them feel safe, confident and secure. No parent or teacher will be perfect right away and just like everything it takes practice and learning of your own both of general learning, but also to learn about your individual students or children.

Consider how the following contexts may affect relationships and the way people communicate: (301 1.3) Social - When in a social environment you are more than likely around people who know your personality and how you communicate, perhaps jokes, dramatic notions, being loud or quietly thoughtful may be ways in which you use your communicational skills. The friendship you have means people will want to spend time with you and will understand and accept your ways, thus conducive to a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. You may go out with work colleagues on a social basis, you would then err on the side of caution using politeness, and a more relaxed professional behaviour until you get to know their sense of humour and personalities. Social media needs to be included here as it is a popular way to communicate with friends, however caution needs to be taken that privacy settings are enabled, to avoid the whole world being able to see your photos can comments. Professional : At work, in meetings, talking with parents, members of staff / students / outside agencies, all require professionalism. The way you would conduct yourself would be in a friendly, respectful, formal manner. Keen listening skills are important. Interest and understanding should be shown by you in body language, questions, answers and possible solutions. Any issues should be dealt with calmly in a non- threatening tone.

In a childcare setting we have to use a variety of techniques to encourage children’s communication, I actively listen to children not just hear them but actually pay them attention and listen; I also check with children that what is being communicated to them has been understood. Good listening is one of the most important skills we as carer or parent. We want to strengthen our relationships with children, and one of the best ways to do this is through our active, caring listening. Our undivided attention to what our children are saying tells them that they are important to us. It shows that we value them as individuals; we care about them and every part of their lives. Also, we can teach them to be good listeners by modelling good listening skills.…
