051.1.1
Identify the different reasons people communicate
Communication is needed to build relationships and communicating so we can build a new relationship even by just saying hi. Then we need to maintain this old relationship each time we greet a carer when they come into the setting, by asking ‘how they are?’ ‘What have they done at the weekend?’ This will help gain a relationship by doing this we can also gain and share information with families, other professionals, children and workers with this information we gain and share will help us in the way we work. Sometimes communicating can be about gaining reassurance and acknowledgement we may praise them, give them physical reassurance or acknowledgement by eye contact or taking an interest in what they are doing. Workers also can give reassurance and acknowledgment to each other. We also have the need to express our needs and feelings and also are there to allow children to do the same. If not given the opportunities to express themselves children can become frustrated and isolated. Communication is also needed to share ideas and thoughts with each other.

To do this we need to make sure
