Communication In Different Ways



My experienced and what I have learned about communication and my insights are that information comes in different shapes and forms. It is essential for me as a professional should be concise when communicating with other. We should think before we start to communicate because it is extremely important to gain one trust. Through communication skills, we can get our points over to another person by using the proper channel of communication skills. In order to be an effective communicator we must become a positive listener. ‘’ The old saying two can not talk at the same time.”

We should use the proper body language to help the parents feel comfortable and trustworthy. In this picture, I saw a lot of positive communication feedback being going backward and forward between the two men! My granddaughter favors show Blue Clues, which I love, to watch and play games and sing along with the Steven. In this episode, Steve and the clue was trying to find his hat, which was hiding, under the pillow on the sofa. We notice that there were no sounds that characters were making, but they both was making and using sign languages. We focus on behaviors when it got time for Steve to communicate with a clue and the Audiences he asked questions like” Where is my that hat? Is it behind the sofa? Steve kept feedback well timed and well ensure understanding in their conversation. Then he said look Clue I think it is under the pillow on the sofa.” We noticed that Clue can not communicate with his mouth, but he was making sounds and using language and nodding his head when was spoken to. When they was close in finding Steve's hat than a clue, sound or a mark would appeared where the hat was to let you know that they found the hat.

There was a lot of communication skills was going backward and forward with eye contact, between the characters in the show. Even sometimes Steve would look out at the audience and ask questions about where the hat was. We noticed that Clue avoided interrupting Steve while he was communicating with the Audiences. We also noticed Steve’s facial expression and the nodding of the head in a respectful way; they avoided communicating too much.

I learned about the different form of communication skill besides talking. I learned about how important it is to use positive body language because it is a voice. I saw understanding between Steve and Blue. I noticed how close they were and how they communicated with healthy feelings. When Steve found the hat under the pillow on the sofa, they were very happy and begin to sing and dance together. I have learned that dancing is a language also because it expresses the way you feel about yourself and others.

    That is a great show to watch in terms of body language and facial expressions. The non verbal expressions are present for the dog because he cannot use human words. Steve uses verbal communication and the dog enriches or supports it with body language. This show uses body language to express various emotions. It teaches children to connect body language with words and emotions. When Steve talks into the camera, it gives children the feeling that he is truly talking to them. This skill keeps them focused on what is happening in the show. It's a great show!
