Affective Communication With Children And Young People

It is important to be able to read the context of the situation to have an affective communication with the children or young people. Always need to be thoughtful of this and adapt your communication skills. Working in a classroom environment it is important that the children and young people are focused and that you straight away deal with any behaviour issues before they interrupt you. Other situations such as, talking to children in more comfortable social place, such as the playground at break time or dinner hall at lunchtime, we should use this as an way to develop positive relationships with pupils, but you should always convey with them in a way which maintains the relationship of professional teaching assistant.
For e.g getting involved
in break time games, children will usually take an opportunity to ask friendly questions it is important to reply with humour but while maintaining the professional outlook.
