It s not always easy to get your point across to a child. Sometimes, it seems children don t understand, or just don t listen. We tell them something, and five minutes later, we have to repeat it again. Sometimes children lack the words or the skills needed to express themselves, and they can t get their point across very effectively. Whether as a parent or teacher, you know the importance of communicating with children.
Communication is the basic means of teaching and guiding.
Understand the importance and purpose of good communication with children. If your goal is to communicate encouragement, you will want to choose words that build confidence. There are many obstacles, but each has a solution. If your obstacle is that the child is not listening, try modeling appropriate listening skills to the child. Ask a question and listen completely for the answer.
