Good communication skills are essential for early childhood educators. This essay outlines how good communication skills provide advancement in student skill, through proper practices of collaboration between childhood educators, students, and parents through good communication. Classroom communication can be defined as a process of information shared that consists of verbal and nonverbal transactions between teacher and students, or between and among students, in a classroom setting (Kearns, 2012, p.33).

As researchers answering the questions of the effect of witnessing domestic violence on young children is paramount in helping those parents, caregivers, communities, and society assist in the development of the young child’s healthy social-emotional development. Young children spend on the average eight to nine hours each day, the average classroom environment for children two to five years old is in most ways an extension of about forty or more hours each week with caregivers and teachers who provide care outside of their home environments. During the transition from homes where they witness or have witnessed domestic violence to a classroom environment, young children who are two to five years old demonstrate an inability to develop social, emotional, psychological, and may exhibit behavioral problems (acadv.org).

While this is a fairly new topic, professionals like Andrew S. Davis et al. advocate for this in his article, Understanding and Treating Psychopathology in Schools: Introduction to the Special Issue. This article addresses the studies in the journal, Psychology in Schools, and expresses the need of trained professionals to diagnose and treat children with psychopathy, or children with mental illnesses such as Anxiety, Depression, Early Onset Bipolar Spectrum Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Radicalized Attachment Disorder. Rather than just exposing students to and making them aware of mental health, this article calls for a "collaborative system of care that comprehensively meets the mental health needs of students" by having mental health professionals, such as psychologists and counsellors, and educators working with students that specifically have some form of psychopathy (Davis et al., 415). These must be adults who have been trained to either treat mental illness, using counseling or medication, be able to look for symptoms of mental illness, or sometimes both.
