Effective communication is important with children because it helps them to feel valued. It shows them that their interests and opinions are listened to. When we listen and communicate with children, this gives them more self-confidence and it also helps to increase their self-esteem, both of these being so important for their future. The child we are communicating with needs to feel at ease and be given the opportunity to communicate back with comfort and confidence.…

Children emotionally still need reassurance from their parents or carers, but they will play more independent for longer. Children will still show their emotions throughout this age group and have quarrels and temper tantrums. At this age the children enjoy helping adults with things and enjoys a range of different activities and getting messy and creative.…
2. Why is it important that parents establish a positive relationship and positive communication with babies and young children?…
Obviously children’s emotions are affected by their relationships and personal experiences, if their main relationships are unsettled then they will be wary of forming future trusting relationships with adults, e.g. if parents divorce they may believe it is their fault, and so not want to ‘cause’ another adult to leave them. They may become withdrawn, or regress (tantrums), become attention seeking or seem more immature than their friends. They could become clinging, insecure, needing affection and constant reassurance. Events such as the death of a family member or pet will also have an emotional affect; even the death of a goldfish (which may not be so important to mum or dad) can have a major affect on a child’s emotional development. My daughter once lost her favourite toy ‘puppy’ in Weston Super Mare pier. She was distraught, we searched high and low before leaving that evening without him… the next day we rang the pier and it had been found by a cleaner. They posted him back and we told her that he was home from his holiday. Although she was ecstatic, she is still very anxious of losing someone, or being lost, when we are out - 8 years later.…
Language is one way of letting others know about ourselves, our feelings, our ideas, our experiences. Difficulties with language and expression can mean difficulties expressing these feelings. A child will then use behaviour as a form of communication. The child’s behaviour is telling us something about them. A child’s problematic or inappropriate behaviour is a sign that he is upset and that something is not right. They are expressing themselves in other ways, like I am feeling anxious or scared. Sometimes, people just lack words to speak and express themselves or sometimes have trouble communicating, because they may not be able to verbally describe the problem or know what to do in a situation. At these times, people may act out their feelings or needs. Children engage in challenging behaviour for a reason. The purpose may be getting someone’s attention, stopping an activity they don’t like, or satisfying sensory needs — but there is always a reason behind the behaviour, so they move to another alternative of communication which is their behaviour; they may cry or show such a sadness to express that they are upset and annoyed, without even talking about it, but one can notice that through their behaviour.…

I find it interesting that in the study of an infant girl being ignored by her mother she was better able to cope with the emotions accompanied by the action versus an infant boy who became frustrated and upset. I know for my nephews they tend to be a bit more emotional and animated when it comes to interacting with the family and just playing. I have two girls and they just don’t tend to play as hard or have quite as much violence tied into their play.…

Some children do not find this easy as there may be events in the child’s life that can affect their ability to feel free enough to express themselves.…
Emotional intelligence should come from home and in school. A child at an early age is taught how to deal with anger and sadness and uses what was taught or adapted in his or her adult years. Once a child feels sadness or anger, they do not arrive to the concept right away of how to deal with his or her emotions. As parents or guardians we are responsible to teach them how handle these feelings. Parents should teach self control and communication. Being able to talk to a child and open those doors to not be afraid to talk about feelings is a good start for future relationships. Everyone knows that a three-year-old is not going to go to his or her parents and say “mommy, daddy I feel angry today” but instead show it in facial expressions and sometimes temper tantrums that is when a parent should sits with the three-year-old and ask why are he or she is upset and discuss on how to approach a the problem at that time. These teaching will…
As a youngster, self-regulation can be hard. There's no trained thought or experience to back up our actions or emotions. As an adolescent I lacked emotion in extreme conditions. As I got older I grew a conscience. By choice, I chose to retain the ability to not feel emotion in extreme situations. Since I got older it’s a little harder to contain emotion so I find myself retaining emotion. There are a lot of situations where emotion has no place, and if it does its unnecessary. This ability has helped me to stay focused on set goals and save potential wasted time. Now you may think that I move and act and like a heartless robot, quite the contrary. Through logic, most people expect you at react a certain way to certain situations. When a situation that occurs involving emotional respond I put on an act just so it does not look abnormal. What I am trying to get at is, my self-regulation skills have met a new level where it is bold to say I lack emotion cognitive response. Therefore most of my actions are very logical and less rational. Could you imagine trying to upset someone that just never shows you the gratification of an emotional response? In my experience people hate it.…
