The principles of relationship building with children, young people & adults.
Making sure everyone is comfortable & at ease with each other. Engage with the person you are talking to & make your language age appropriate.
Listen and understand showing them by your tone of voice when you respond using positive body language and good eye contact. Connect with the person you are talking to so they feel you are not just hearing the words & that you understand. With children the environment they are brought up in effects their behaviour. Show them that there are boundaries & limits within a school but always make this age appropriate so they will understand. It is important they learn to consider others feelings but just as important to now forget their own feelings and emotions & how to deal with them. Effective communication rather than say getting into and argument which will only upset people and make the situation worse. By using effective & positive communication arguments can be avoided and any issues resolved. It is only natural to have these emotions, but they to dealt with in the appropriate manner.

Some cultures will have different boundaries than other and also gestures that mean one thing in one culture can be unaccepted in another. For example in some cultures it is seen as unacceptable to look someone directly in the eye, especially and elder. Finding out things like these can help with effective communication. Showing respect to someone of another culture with help to breakdown barriers and make communication more effective. If it were a parent of a child at the school you worked in this would be very important if you needed to discuss something with them. If the English language was a problem we would need to find out who in the family the school could communicate with in the family and find out if possibly written communication would be
During the beginning of modern Europe, there were conflicting views on the proper way to view children. Previously in history, the infant mortality rate was very high, so kids were treated more like adults and were often neglected because odds were they would die. There was a resounding view that kids should be treated harshly in order to become strong. Then in the seventeenth century, the idea of being tender and gentle to your kids was introduced. The way in children were brought up was influenced by assumptions made on both old and new schools of thought.
The skills needed to communicate with children and young people are listening, positive body language (nodding and sitting forward), eye contact, engaging fully in the conversation in a professional manner and offering feedback and able to talk and respond to children, young people or adults at their level of understanding which is appropriate to their age. It is highly important that you are sure that the person you are talking to understands what you are talking about and have asked them so that they can digest information and join in the conversation without feeling lost and that they are unable to follow you whilst you talk to them. For example sometimes you may need to speak clearly and concisely, using simple words for younger children
The same rapport needs to be built, being respectful with one another and ensuring that you are actively listening and showing interest in the other person. However, when in a school setting it is very important to ensure that when communicating with children you maintain that professional relationship as an adult/carer and ensure that they understand your role as this. Physical contact should not be actively encouraged when communicating with children. This is hard to avoid when working with younger children as they do often initiate contact like hugs and hand holding. A child may need or seek comfort in these situations and therefore it would be inappropriate to reject their need.
This is where the child should learn to have respect for themselves and others, develop the skills socially meaning to interact with the other children and learn their different emotions and how to deal with this which is the emotional part. A child will learn to develop their own personality and opinions but this also needs to be monitored to ensure there is no bullying towards the other children, also parents have major roles in teaching their children. Some parents however, can be over-protective and can delay the child’s development and learning but on an alternative, parents can also see no wrong with their child which can lead to too much confidence and higher risk of behaviour problems. Culture play roles in learning as some cultures do not allow certain things to be taught due to there religion e.g. food tasting and preparation.
Listening to children The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child shows a child’s right to his or her own views in all matters and the right to the freedom of expression. This includes the right to receive and be part of information about themselves. All people around children need to make sure that rights are upheld and matters affecting children are looked after. Children can experience worries at home, at school or with their peers and children need to talk about their issues. Parents, professionals and practitioners need to pay attention not only to what children say, but also what they are saying.
The main differences between communicating with adults, children or young people is by using language what they can understand or what is age appropriate. Don’t use language unless you know that the body you are speaking to fully understands what you are saying. With children or young people you will have to communicate to them on a level that they understand. Listening to a child when they are communicating back to you. By listening this will make a child feel valued and heard.
Speech, language and communication can be supported through play and activities in a number of different ways, children/young people need the opportunity to express themselves using language. It is important to help them develop language skills and to help them use language effectively. It is essential to listen to what is being said and respond appropriately. It is important to be aware of any additional needs, and if English is a second language.
There was a strong correlation between the perceptions of children and how they were disciplined. Since children during the 16th century were viewed as sinners who needed to be fixed through education and strict discipline, parents would harshly control their children through threats and beatings. As seen in Doc 1C and Doc 2C, children were “sharply taunted, so cruelly threatened...sometimes with pinches and bobs” (Doc 1C) and often “cast [on] the ground and spurned and kicked” (Doc 2C). The circumstances children had to undergo were jarring and savage. Children, in return, viewed their parents as their masters whom they must obey.
In P6 of my work I am going to explain the role of supportive relationships to reduce the risk of abuse and neglect. If a person is interested in a career in health and social care is important you develop the skills needed to form professional supportive relationship with individuals and their families. So you need a basic understanding of the elements that make up a relationship.
For children and young people to develop positive relationships it is crucial for adults to model effective communication in the classroom. As a teacher or teaching assistant, you have the platform to facilitate social learning and lead by example. One of the main reasons why effective communication is important, is because it makes children feel happy and comfortable at school, and in your presence. Not only will this help children to thrive in a learning environment, but will also filter through to their lives at home and outside of school.
It is not a bad thing to have or express these emotions, in fact it is bad to keep them all bottled up inside. But letting emotions take over and block reasoning out, then undesirable outcomes are sure to
Everyone should respect others culture and try to understand others culture goals and norms as it is important to live with different cultural people. As every culture have its own norms, goals, experiences and
In Paso 1 we took a look at the 10 most common ways to offend people in other cultures. From being friendly and smiling at a stranger right down to shaking or eating with your left hand being considered disrespectful. These two instances shocked me the most. Normally smiling at a stranger can be seen as merely being polite or friendly, not an insult of stupidity, and complimenting furniture certainly did not mean having to give it to the person admiring said object in a home. By learning more about another culture through its language, we can comfortably and politely interact with people from other cultures.
EFFECTS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS INTRACTION ON DELOPMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDENTS IN MIANWALI 1.1 Introduction: The importance of good parent-teacher relationships has been well documented. Research has shown that parent involvement in education benefits not only the child but also the parents and teachers (Eldridge, 2001). The function of a good parent-teacher relationship is much more than just like a vehicle for status reports from teacher to parents on a child’s performance.
These skills are very important in solving the future problems. School is a place that can hold a lot of tension and pressures for kids of all ages. It is also one of the first places (after the home) where a child begins learning how to interact with peers. This can, of course, lead to many conflicts. In order to help students not turn into bullies or become paralyzed with shyness, teaching methods of conflict resolution is a great tool.
