To ensure effective teamwork and continual care of the children we must communicate well by keeping each other informed and aware of current situations going on around us. Communication involves Verbal (talking) and Non Verbal (non talking) communication. To be able to communicate effectively you need to try and consider their point of view and be very clear on what you are talking about and make sure the other person understands what you are talking about. The benefits I will have of effective communication in my work role will be my relationship with the children and their parents and the relationship with my work colleagues. With children you need to get down to their level to speak to them and make eye contact.

Effective communication is essential in order to work successfully with children parent’s and staff. It is important for teaching assistants to have the skills to listen and respond to the views of others.

Effective communication with adults in the work place is vital, we come across many different agencies within the school setting i.e. speech and language therapists, Ed Psychiatrist’s, parents and carers also referred to as TAC (team around the child). In these situations we must build good rapport and respect to make sure everything possible can be done to the best of our ability for the child/children in question.

These strategies include, communicating with parents, arranging of the classroom environment, building positive relationship with students and implementing rules and routines. In order to prevent challenging behaviors, an educator must document and observe children’s behavior. Educators should communicate rules, consequences and incentives to the parents. Sending home notes, making phone calls, preparing articles in the newsletter could be some of the ways educator can communicate a child’s behavior to the parents. Regular feedback regarding a child’s behavior is also important to keep the parents aware.

Children brain development relies on attachment and play. Being an early childhood educator means being prepared for the engagement and responsibilities that will come along with dealing with young children. Teachers play an important role in young children’s development process. Casper and Thielheimer(2010) says, “Work with young children demands complete engagement…paying attention to what children do, concentrating to understand what they and their families say, and trying to put aside distracting worries and joys” (p.9). Part of being a professional early childhood educator is being able to set aside personal problem that may cause a distraction.
Demonstrate how to adapt communication with children and young people for: a) the age and stage of development of the child or young person b) the context of the communication c) communication differences. In order to build relationships with children I must adapt my behaviour and communication accordingly. Children of all ages, cultures and abilities need to feel secure and valued and my interactions with them need to demonstrate this. Through positively communicating with, and being involved with children I show them that they are part of the school community. To treat children equally a variety of unequal factors need to be taken into account in order to meet their entitlement as pupils.
