Connection and Communcation

Do you struggle with having meaningful connections and communication with the children you care for?
Studies have found that the quality of interactions and communication between the teacher and the children are essential in building relationships to enhance children's learning and social development. Young children who experience warm and respectful relationships are more likely to develop positive relationships with peers and teachers in elementary school.

Communication and conversations between a teacher and the children are essential in building trusting teacher-child relationships.

• Teachers that provide nurturing care and demonstrate acceptance of each child, help develop children's sense of competence and self-esteem
• Teachers can influence young children in developing appropriate behavior, understanding unacceptable behavior has consequence, and acquiring positive character traits.

Comment one way you really connect with children in your care.

Here is mine:
I am always willing to admit when I'm wrong or when I don't know something. We can learn it together but that way they aren't as likely to lie or feel ashamed when they don't know something either. I feel that it really builds that connection!
