Explain why effective communication is important in developing relationships with children, young people and adults. Communication is very important in building a positive relationship with anyone, whether they are a child, young person or adult. Communication is important for developing relationships. It is like a “two way road”, it is how you interact with people and how you react to them. If we can get on with all types of people, including people of all ages (children and adults), all cultures and adults in a range of different contexts (colleagues, parents and other educational professionals), passing on information or exchanging information becomes easy, and therefore becomes more efficient As a result of inadequate communication, misunderstanding, confusion and even avoidance or confrontations may occur between the individuals or parties that are involved.
If they feel emotionally secure they are more likely to participate in the play and learning activities. Children need to have a strong relationship with the staff to feel comfortable and secure this will help them to enjoy themselves and less likely to show unwanted behaviour. It is important for adults to ensure that they have effective communication with their students; this will help keep the children comfortable and will also gain their trust. Without trust and honesty the children may feel like you are unapproachable and may keep their problems and worries to themselves and this may affect their learning. It is important that children are made aware of what is expected of them within school with regards to their behaviour and interacting with others.
CU1515- Introduction to Communication in Health, Social Care or Children's and Young people setting. 1.1- People communicate in many different ways such as verbal, written, gesture, sign language and behavior. Good communication is good in the workplace because it breaks down any barriers between parents, colleagues, children and outside agencies. Good communication enables parents to discuss information on there child, parents will feel confident enough to air any issues or concerns they have, communication in the work place is important because any breakdown in communication can cause people not sharing important information or not being confident enough to put ideas forward or get more information about there child off other members of staff. We communicate with outside agencies such as social services, having a strong communication with them enables both settings share information freely.
A relationship can be developed between children and adults at any point of time only when they are comfortable with each other, and can communicate effectively. When they are not comfortable with each other in communicating, it will lead to misunderstanding and will try to avoid wherever possible. Positive relationships with people are very important and we should look for different ways to develop them. Some of the key points which help in building a positive relationship with children and adults are Effective communication Showing respect Being considerate Remembering issues which are personal to them Taking time to listen to other Being clear on key points Maintaining sense of humor Effective communication This plays the key role while socializing and building relationship between people. During the first meeting, our facial expressions and body language can help in developing a good relationship.
In Health and social care, we need good communication skills to develop positive relationships and share information with adults using services. We also need to be able to communicate well with their families and/or other carers and their own colleagues and other professionals who are participating in their life. 1.2 Explain how effective communication affects all aspects of your own work. Effective communication is a two-way process - sending the right message, which is also being correctly received and understood by the other persons. It is essential that there is good and effective communication taking place within the work setting.
Appropriate eye contact should be made, which will reinforce your interest to the individual. Getting down to the child or young person’s level will make them feel more comfortable, as if you are towering above them it could be quite intimidating and make them feel uneasy. It is important to always use age appropriate language, so that the CYPA understands the words and phrases you are using. Slang words or phrases should be avoided, as you are a role model for them and should use English appropriately. Obviously no bad language should ever be use used around children and young people.
It is also important to listen and to use positive body language (may be shown by nodding etc) use the appropiate facial expressions and give eye contact. Adults need to show positive relationships with each other in front of children and young people so that the child can copy this behaviour as it will demonstrate what is expected and acceptable in relationship building. If good commincation exsisits between everyone involved (the child,the staff and parents/ carers) it may prevent misunderstanding and unnecessary worry. Developing a positive relationship with children is the main key to a happy and calm enviroment. Without a supportive and positive attitude there will be no trust and honesty between yourself and the
People usually feel satisfied when they communicate well with individuals. Good communication enables individuals needs to be met and for care and support workers to feel, they are not just doing the job but doing it in a way that allows individuals to have choice and control over their lives. Good communication will enable you to build strong professional relationships based on trust. It is essential that the individuals you support trust you as you are working very closely with them to improve their lives and if you are providing personal care, you will be carrying out intimate tasks. Communication is an essential skill for worker who wants to do well in their setting; this communication can be between adults or children.
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.
We all think differently and communicate in different ways. The people you are supporting will communicate because they are motivated by what they need. 1.2 Explain how communication affects relationships in an adult social care setting. Good communication is the key to a productive relationship between the patient and carer. Colleagues who are articulate with passing on important and general information will ensure that the care they are providing is of a high standard it will also contribute towards developing supportive relationships with the users is effective, eliminating possible mistakes.
