Speech, language and communication skills support the behavior area in child’s development because if we say negative things to a child then they will feel upset and worthless. Also if we use negative body language this can make a child feel worried or want to push the boundaries of what is/ isn’t acceptable. Children may say horrible things to another child (or adult) so we should try helping the child to see why it isn’t nice to say those things by asking them how they would feel if someone had said it to them instead. The way things are said to a child can make a big difference to how they react. For instance if you say to a child who is messing with a pencil “put that down” in an aggressive way, it could make the child scared, whereas
Children are social learners and it is crucial that all adults working with them need to model good communication through listening and speaking which will aid the development of the child’s friendships, confidence and self-esteem.
Through play they are able to learn their environment and it helps with learning. In the area of language development preschoolers are developing well as they learn more words and are very verbal. Children are more vocal about their surroundings, feelings, and other individuals. It is important to pay attention to speech during this time as most delays in language are noticed during this stage of development. “It is important to encourage talk at this time, and to seek advice from a specialist if any delays are suspected.” (Christina J. Groark, Stephanie K. McCarthy, Afton R. Kirk, 2014) Socially children are developing as they show interest in playing with other children. “Children are driven by the desire to be liked and place the utmost importance on friends.” (Christina J. Groark, Stephanie K. McCarthy, Afton R. Kirk, 2014) It is during this period they children learn how to share and respect other feelings. Children learn how to follow rules and know their boundaries during this stage of development. Each stage of development is essential in how well children are able to enjoy the exciting time of preschool.
When communicating with children, a number of skills need to be demonstrated to communicate effectively. Children learn to communicate through the responses of others, if they feel they have not had there contributions valued they are less likely to initiate communication themselves appropriate responses reinforce the child’s self-esteem, values this is important in building relationships initiating conversations and finding out the answers to questions builds on the language skills that are integral to child’s learning. In the setting working with children with
The skills needed to communicate with children are both verbal and non-verbal, getting down to a child’s level and maintaining eye contact and asking appropriate questions, making the child feel secure and developing trust. A smile, a nod or a thumbs up will also show you are interested in what they are saying. Listening and not interrupting them when they are speaking is vital so they can express their points of view and develop confidence in themselves, making sure that if someone is talking to you to give them your full attention, even if that means finding a quiet suitable place with no distractions. Being supportive to the child’s needs can build respect and trust between the child and adult also giving feedback in a clear, constructive way, so the child can feel they can develop with confidence.
Non verbal communication is also just as important as verbal communication. Again, using the child with confidence and relationship issues,
The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull
Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children and young adults because it helps the child to be able to communicate effectively with other people as they grow. Children react better to clear, concise communication and this in turn will help to build better relationships between child and adult and enable trust to grow, which is one of the key elements in building a relationship. It is also important to listen to the child and let them say what they want to say. Do not try to pre-empt or interrupt them. Try to keep your language and explanation simple and to the point. Make them feel that what
When communicating with children, it is important to talk at their level while maintaining eye contact and use positive body language. We must give them time to understand and absorb what is being said to them. This will make the children feel respected and develop trust and thus they will feel confident to communicate with us. The child’s learning and development will benefit if the adults in their life can communicate effectively about them.
Speech, language and communication (SLC) skills can support behaviour development in a few different ways. As a child begins to understand language used, they can then begin to understand consequences of their actions and learn from this. For example, a child can begin to learn that if
Children model their own behaviour on others and if adults can effectively communicate and exchange age or developmental appropriate information with children this can encourage them to behave in acceptable ways. Frustration at their own inability to communicate effectively can lead to behavioural problems.
But “if there is a difficulty understanding what people say, difficulty speaking or forming sounds or words and using language in appropriate social contexts then this can affect a child’s behaviour and emotional development”. (Speech, Language Communication Action Plan 2011)
Play is essential in child development, because skills such as language, physical, emotional, social, literacy, creative, and cognitive are developed. A variety of play, activities, and toys, require different words to describe the play that is occurring, enhancing language development. Language development is important in communication, language forms & functions, intentional verbal interactions (asking and answering questions), and playing with language (i.e., rhymes, jokes, & riddles).
Clovia, high five!:) Thank you! Children are so impressionable and they pick up on our nonverbal cues, such as paralanguage (tone, pitch, etc.) and facial expressions. We have to be so careful too not to unintentionally cause harm in any way, such as creating a hostile environment that is remote from our desired environment that is conducive to high standards of excellence. As you state,
I get where your coming from, though my big peeve personally is when when people just recolor a TDA model's hair/eyes and say "look ets mah OCee, her name is MoOKU" and do literally nothing else, but what if your just starting out in MMD or just like the way TDA looks? Haha, some don't even know where to begin with making new types of models, face edits, bases and such. The funny thing is you say that TDA looks the same but use Kingdom hearts models and those take a lot of work to look even the slightest bit different.
One primary factor that can affect a child’s academic performance is communication at home. Language is an essential factor for a child’s developmental growth. Language has two parts, expressive language and receptive language. The expressive language is the verbal output of an individual (i.e. speech, writing, and gestures)
