UNIT 301 Communication and professional relationships with children
UNIT 301. Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults.
Outcome 1: Understand the principles of developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.
1.1:- Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.
To develop a positive relationship with children, young people and adults within a school environment you need to be able to communicate effectively with them. This can be both verbal and non verbal communication depending on the situation and information that needs to be given. For example, when dealing with a child a look might sometimes be enough to tell them they are doing something wrong and you want them to stop. Having a positive relationship with the children can give them more trust in you and they then may be more willing to open up to you if they are having any problems that may affect their learning or social skills. The problems may be from their home environment or something that is happening in school and if they are not willing to talk to somebody these could only get worse. If we are effective communicators and come across with a positive and gentle attitude, even children that may find it hard to communicate normally may hopefully open up to us, therefore it is important to speak to them as we would like them to speak to us. For example, if a child or adult was having a problem and you approach them in a calm manner you are more likely to find out what the problem is. Effective communication with other adults helps establish a trusting relationship and also shows that we are able to exchange information correctly and prevent any misunderstandings. By establishing positive relationships with other adults in the school environment it also models the correct behaviours for the children to mirror.
