Children will have more confidence and are more likely to participate better if they have strong and effective positive relationships with their teachers. In one example taken from http://panhandle.unl.edu/at_the_center_78: the author Carol McCloud talks of filling a childs “emotional bucket” with positive interactions. If we fill this with emotions of value, such as trust, confidence and encouragement, we are certain to extract the most from the children we interact with. It is the same for the adults we need to communicate with. We want to work productively and well together as a team for the benefit of the children we wish to inspire and to create the right decisions for all those involved.
Effective communication combines a set of skills including non verbal communication, attentive listening, the ability to mange stress in the moment, the capacity to recognize, understand own emotion and those of the person you are communicating with. Effective communication is important because it allows people to build personal and professional relationships. We are more likely to communicate information to one another if we have positive relationships. You are likely to give beneficial support if communication is strong and effective with parents and other adults who come into the school, this in turn benefits pupils. It is also inportant that a Teaching Asistant checks what he/ she is saying in the moment of stress and excitement as the pupils are in our presence and will here.
Effective communication helps us to develop a strong positive relationship with children who can trust us which benefit children and young people and their ability to participate in and benefit from the setting. While communicating with children we have to make sure that how we are communicating for example we have to be very clear in our instructions, we come to their eye level, make eye contact, adapt to their different needs for example if a child is dyslexic we give them extra time for learning. Showing respect, being considerate, remembering their personal issues, taking time to listen to their views and worries. It is important that we model effective communication skills so that children behave in proper manner and that they also know their boundaries. There are many ways by which we can communicate with adults (staff and parents) like- emails, verbal, nonverbal, contact books - through which parents as well as carers can contact with each others, we can share information and views with each other.
1.2 Relationship building is important when working with children and young people. The way this is done is by being a positive role model. The young person must feel comfortable when I am helping/supporting the young person with work. When working with children I have to make sure that when working with then that I use easy to understand words. Towards children I must show a caring approach and listen to them when they are asking me question and make eye contact so they know that I am listening to them.
1.1 Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children and adults in order to gather information and pass it on effectively and accurately. It is important to establish positive communication to gain trust. Children who see adults communicating with each other and other children in a positive manner are more likely to learn positive and effective communication skills themselves. For example, it is important to check what we are saying or how we are acting and in times of stress or excitement, and display conversations, mannerisms, body language and behaviour that we expect from the children. Effective communication with parents ensures that they are confident in the school and their child’s learning, which in turn is passed on to the child.
Unit CCLD 301 Develop and promote positive relationships Amy Simpson K3C154 – Good working relationships are vital to the setting. They help to provide a positive environment that can be experienced by everyone. If staff get along well and the morale is high, parents are more likely to put trust in us to look after their children effectively. Children will feel secure and content; staff members may seem more approachable. This applies to the way the parents feel about us too, perhaps they will be more open to discussion as they will feel valued and welcome.
Children: Positive relationships with children are very important as they help children feel more comfortable & settled with us & are more able to separate from their parents. When a child feels comfortable they are more likely to join in with activities & play with others. It will help develop their language & communication skills as they will feel confident in talking to the practitioner. As the relationship builds, the practitioner will be able to plan effectively for the children as they will know what their likes & interests are & what their development needs are. The practitioner will also be able to respond to the child effectively as they will recognise their emotions & behaviour.
