I want to believe that I communicate with everyone in the same way but I think I would by lying to myself. I believe I am guarded with groups of people I might not have encountered before.
1) When communicating with Southeast Asian people, a teacher should not touch the child on the head because they believe this gesture has stolen the child's spirit (Gonzalez-Mena, 2010, p. 80).
2) Try to identify something you have in common with someone if you want to communicate effectively.
3) We should be motivated to communicate. We should be motivated to learn and improve ( Beebe, Beebe & Redmond, 2011, p. 103).
Johan,
ReplyDeleteI agree it is important as early childhood educators and professionals that we are "motivated to communicate" and "motivated to learn and improve".
Hey Johan,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I don't communicate with various groups of people in the same manner either. I really like your point about being motivated to communicate. Great point!
