The book is broken down into five parts that take the reader through the reasoning behind his teaching and eventually to the tools that one can use to practice great listening skills. Part one of the books starts by talking about the importance of communication and some of the symptoms of the person that is not listening. Most of the time when we stop listening it’s because we have developed what Dr. Peterson calls the “Flat-brain” (p.10). This describes how emotions and one’s own thought process can get in the way of actually listening to another person. He goes on to describe different versions of the flat brain and the scenarios that being flat brained can cause.
We have implemented picture references for the service user who is non verbal, so he can associate these pictures with places and behaviours etc. This is still a working progress, we have professionals involved in their communication needs, such as Speech and language therapists and we have needed to get DOLS in place for our service users who lack capacity to make a decision they need to make. We involve family and professionals in having an input into their communication. We display photos of their families and have picture folders for each service user to have so they have visual as well as verbal confirmation of visits, meetings etc. We talk regularly to our service users and encourage conversations and choice in all things within their
He also explains how each individual have had and dealt with individuals that are suffering from his theory of “The Flat Brain Theory” which he discusses how feelings are linked with the stomach, the heart and of course the head and how these three work collectively to alter an individual’s actions. In chapter 3, Petersen talks about the two levels of communication that consist of sharing the information and then connecting with the individuals that is sharing the information. Personal communication will only happen when the person sharing the information feels like they have been heard and their issue has been understood. Peterson also discusses in chapter 5 “The Flat-Brain Tango” which simply means the cultural norm is when being attacked physically or verbally, we have the personal right to defend ourselves and as humans it is really hard to just listen without defending one’s self. If people feel they are being judged by you or you feel you are being judged by individuals, there is no way you can build a relationship.

It’s important to communicate with my colleagues to ensure teamwork and the best outcomes for our service users. On one day a week I take service users out in the community and if I need to pass any information on from the day then I speak to their key workers.
UNIT 1 Introduction to Communication in Health, Social Care or Children and Young Peoples Settings. 1.Understand why communication is important in the work setting: 1.1.Identify different reasons why people communicate -People communicate to share ideas, to share and gain information, to express their feelings and build up relationships, to make friends, for growth of learning i.e. a child communicates to learn and make needs known. -People communicate to share experiences and to satisfy care needs and for carers to help the residents with personal care needs. 1.2 Explain how effective communication affects all aspects of own work -Communication is very good in the setting it helps to understand individuals feelings, share skills and some important information, which leads to understanding each other.
General observations are often noted within my setting and the information is shared between colleagues and in particular with the children’s key workers. The key workers then record this and are able to assess growth and developmental needs. This is usually a daily occurrence and is a very good way of easily sharing information whilst working within a busy, excitable environment! Each month a learning story is written about each child and once the leader has assessed these and used the information for future planning, these are kept in their profile books, which are in their personal trays and which are accessible to parents/carers. 203/40 It’s important to check and discuss observations with others as one person’s observations may be guided or influenced by something that may have happened previously.
Explain three counter-arguments to Singer’s position that he addresses in his article, and then indicate Singer’s responses to those counter-arguments. Define Singer’s concept of marginal utility and identify how it relates to his argument. Compare how the ideas of duty and charity change in Singer’s proposed world? Finally, present your personal response to Singer (this should be no more than one page of the entire assignment). Provide an argument either in support of Singer’s position, against his position, or somewhere in the middle of his position.
It is my opinion and experience that many times when individuals are given the opportunity talk clamly to someone is actively listening, they have the ability to think rationally about their decisions, actions, etc. I would ask if she is open to marital counseling (if her husband agrees) so that she and her husband can have the opportunity to learn and utilize effective communication skills (such as actively listening to one another, giving eye contact while talking, communicate thoughts and feelings without interuption, and most importantly, learn to talk TO each other instead of AT each other) and to also address negative behaviors and/or any
I found out these people possessed a method of communicating their experience and feelings to one another by articulate sounds”, (Shelley 78). This quote relates to nurture because through listening and experience the monster will be able to figure out what the cottagers are saying and communicating to each other about. Then the next step is for the creature to understand what noises go with what actions and what those actions mean. The next instance of nurture is, “… it may be imagined that while every hour of my infant life I received a lesson of patience, of charity and of self-control, I was so guided by a silken cord that all seemed but one train of enjoyment to me”, (Shelley 16). This example of nurture is perfect because Victor says that he is not born with these traits of patience, charity, and self- control.
Parents should communicate to manage their child’s academic success. Volunteering and learning at home requires a parent to help the student with homework and other educational activities. Decision making type of involvement is communicating with the student to discuss improvement and student success.
