The tone of your voice is another factor towards building a relationship with children and young people. A calm, low voice makes you appear to the child as comforting and approachable. You must be patient and give children time to speak and recast if necessary, recasting is the correct way of saying a word a child says wrong, it is better for the child because they don’t see it as getting it wrong or being told off, rather just a reassurance that with practice and support from you they will get it right.
