Tda 3.1 Communcation
TDA 3.1: Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults. 1. Understand the principles of developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.
2.1 Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.
Positive relationships= Relationships that benefit children and young people and their ability to participate in and benefit from the setting.(pg 2, Supporting teaching and learning in schools. L Burnham. B Baker.)
To create and work on positive relationships in schools, you need to show and role model effective communication in conversations with other adults and the way you approach other adults and children. The way you respond to them and the way you greet them when you see them are important when communicating. Bending down to a child’s eye level and giving them eye contact will make the child focus on what you are saying and be less intimidating. You should be aware of the language you use and use short sentences, as children can not always handle too much information at once. Making sure you’re being understood by getting them too repeat back what you ask of them, and listen to what is being said and show an interest in what they tell you, this will help with their self-worth and confidence. When talking to adults I speak clearly and use positive body language. I smile and always try to have a friendly manner towards all members of staff and other adults I may come into contact with. I am very careful what I say for things can be very easily misread by adults and pupils. I have an understanding on what is expected of us in school and that how we communicate with others is really important. If we expect certain behaviour from pupils, when communicating we need to set an example ourselves. When communication doesn’t happen in schools, this is when things can go wrong and break downs happen. Communication can be vital
