The person in my life who uses competent
communication skills is my daughter. She is only 24 years old, but I have
watched her grow into a very intelligent young lady. When she speaks to you she
does it in a way that anyone can understand (adult, teenager, child, etc.). She
ensures you understand what she is trying to say. She chooses her words
carefully. She will ask you if you
understand what she is talking about. My daughter is currently in school for Psychology
and the courses that she has taken have even broadened her communication
skills.
I would want to model my communication skills after
her. Communicating effectively is very important, not just for children and
families, but for anyone who you come in contact with. My daughter has
experience working with Pre-K children. I often observe how she communicates
with her daughter. I have and will continue to use some of her communication
techniques to communicate with children.
Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI find it wonderful that you chose your daughter as your role model of communication. I find that we can learn a lot from children not only because we work mainly in the early education field but we learn especially from our own. I have a six year old soon to be seven year old daughter and she can turn a really difficult day into a good one with her jokes and creative nature. It warms my heart to read about close mother and daughter relationships and close communication. Thank you for sharing.
This choice was very heartfelt and made me shed a few tears because it reminds me of my mother and I. Thanks for sharing such a positive blog. Good luck in the future.
