Understand the Principles of Developing Positive Relationships with Children, Young People and Adults
3.1: Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults
1.1 I am going to use the role of a T.A for the purpose of explaining the importance of communication and relationships simply for example purposes.
(A) Communication has always been the most important skill when socialising and building relationships with people. When first meeting or approaching an individual, be it a child, young person or adult, body language and facial expressions can form good vibes between individuals. By bearing this in mind, a T.A can form a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in which to work upon and follow up with good verbal communication. On the flip side, cold and expressionless body language could create an instant barrier between people meeting for the first time, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. It may be that the other individual may struggle socially, and become nervous, fearful and feel the T.A is unapproachable just by judging first appearances. Friendly eye contact can compliment good use of body language and contribute to putting the person at ease if nervous. If addressing a group, eye contact with each individual can make the person feel equally as important as the next. These principles can be followed up by perhaps having the chance to talk on a one to one basis with the individuals and getting to know a bit about them. Communication is a two way track and listening is equally as important as talking. This gives the chance for the individual to feel heard and valued. Body language again of the T.A plays an important part, i.e. nodding and making appropriate facial expressions according commenting or reacting appropriately to the individual’s topic of conversation. This again can make the person feel valued and respected.
Through the above examples a T.A should quickly use good judgment to determine the person’s strengths and weakness and individual needs or characteristics. What is meant by this is the T.A
