Explain How To Adapt Communication With Children And Young People

In a role as a professional adult working with children you will need to remember that you need to be a positive role model for children,this means you will have to show them how to communicate and get along with others at all times through your own relationships and communications with other adults and children.It is very important for children to see adults behaving appropriately and proffesionally in schools.We build relationships with others daily in a diffrnt number of ways children will always respond positively to positive communication and realtionships they are more likely wanting to be in schools and to learn if they have good relationships and are supported by adults around them who get along with each other.

It is essential to establish respectful and professional relationships with children and young people in the role of Teaching Assistant. There are certain strategies which enable such a valued and trusted relationship be established. A relationship in which a child trusts and respects their TA and feels comfortable in their company, allows the TA to offer a supportive and caring environment in which the child can learn and develop.

Not only do you talk to them but also the child will response, or even approach you first to communicate; either for a general conversation or to ask a question.

They are also other factor, which are very important in face to face communication they are proximity, orientation and posture. Proximity is all about distance between me and the person I am about to communicate. Everyone needs personal body space. That personal space it s change varies with age. Babies and young children like to be very close, but we have to remember everybody is different and some children who are shy or they don’t know us may not like if we stay to close. This is because anyone like being to close to people who don’t know. Some people may feel discomfort when we approach them to close, so it is good to keep distance

Adapting communication based on your audience is very important to ensure that your message is fully understood. Therefore, you must change how you communicate with different people and in different situations.

The key is to adapt your behaviour, speech, body language and communication according to your audience. A toddler or a younger child will need simpler words, shorter sentences and some physical contact such as cuddles and high fives for reassurance, younger children also have much shorter attention spans so learning through songs, pictures, games and play may be beneficial, this again will allow the child to see you play with them or cuddle them allowing a bond to form and trust to build.

The vital thing is to be aware of their abilities and, as I have said above, be clear when communicating, keep in mind what the child is capable of. Speak at their level and with eye contact. Always encourage them to respond and answer questions, this will help with confidence. When they get something right, praise them and make them feel good, this will also give them confidence. Also if they get something wrong, or misbehave, explain what they have done wrong in a positive way and explain what they could do to make it right. Repeat things if necessary and ensure that the child has understood. Ask questions in a way that encourages children and young adults to answer in full sentences which shows that they have understood what is being asked.

Unit 3.3.1 – How communication with children and young people differs across different age ranges and stages of development

Effective communication is the most important part in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Some pupils that struggle with their learning and/or have confidence issues may find that they can’t communicate with all of us, therefore, treating that pupil in a calm, positive, praising and gentle manner could mean the difference between them trusting us or closing down and giving up. I believe that children should be spoken to

It is important to build positive relationships with children, young people and adults not just within a learning environment but within any social setting, as this forms strong interactive social skills throughout their lives. Children will build from the skills we demonstrate to them because as adults we are their role models. You should always take into account how you approach someone and respond to them as this will determine how they respond to you. Everyone must be given opportunities to establish trust and to feel at ease.

You’ll need to change your behaviour and method of communication when establishing respectful, professional relationships with children and young people. This can be done making yourself more approachable so that they feel safe to talk to you and ask for help. Its also important that you make them feel valued by listening to what they have to say and not rushing them or cutting off their sentences and also

I interviewed my daughter’s teacher and my friend, Kim Kelly. I have not spent a lot of time with Kim in person because of the language barrier. Most of our correspondence has been through email or text, which was 90% about my daughter during in school year. We met up once to just meet in person but most of that conversation was typing back and forth, along with gestures. As you can imagine, that limited the amount of information that was shared. Although I consider her my friend, there is so much I never had the opportunity to learn about her. She is one of the main reasons I wanted to take ASL. I wanted to be able to communicate with her. My daughter was in the ASL Club as well. That was the one opportunity that I had to go to a Deaf game night. I felt completely lost the entire time. I have also met up with her at church 3 times as part of my events. Unfortunately, we did not get one on one time. All our interactions haven’t been super personal, partly because of the language barrier but also because I am guarded in big groups. Kim knows so much more about me than I do about her. I never really thought about how much we talked about me and never about her until the interview assignment. It is very embarrassing how little I know about her personal life. I have been excited to be able to finally sit down with Kim and really get to talk. I told her I needed to interview someone and that was the second time (first time after starting ASL) where it was just us. Time to get

The purpose of the current study is to better understand how an effective public relations plan can improve the communication within an elementary school setting. In this study, a public relations plan was created for Mater Academy Elementary Charter School to integrate current understanding of how public relations theory and its impact on the effectiveness of overall communication.

What is communication? How do we use communication in the workplace? We use communication in everything that we do. We use it when we talk to each other, send an email, or even when we do not say a word. Our body language communicates more about us than we realize. It involves the tone of voice you use, your posture, facial expressions and actions that we use.

Communication with children is a key component when referring to coping mechanisms to help children resolve emotionally. Communication is crucial when is needed to address a problem because it is through communication that it’s going to be possible to discover what is going on with children and therefore; know how children are dealing in their healing process. Based on an article in EdSource, Sonoma County Superintendent Steve Herrington said, “Students’ mental health needs are also a priority” and he also reassured that “Counselors will be available at all school sites, and teachers and other staff have been trained on how to tend to students feeling traumatized”(qtd. in Jones). What are the best ways to help children communicate and express their feelings? I had the opportunity to interview an expert in child development, and according to the 12-minute interview conducted with Mrs. Jynx Lopez; a Santa Rosa Junior College instructor in Child Development Center. She emphasized the importance about children expressing their feelings after a traumatic situation by saying, “... when once you go through a disaster from what I’ve learned, is letting the children express themselves through art, because a lot of them don’t have the words to express their feelings…” (Lopez). In the article “Helping Children Cope with Emergencies”, the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” briefly explains what children could feel, and how they could react based on how they express their
