As
a communicator, I feel that you have to talk to others to get the information
needed or just to get to know someone. When I was younger, I didn’t understand
communication because I was shy and didn’t want to talk to others. I grew out
of that quick because I never got attention from anyone. I was the smartest in
my Pre-Calculus class and the teacher would always call everyone but me to
answer questions out loud. I went home talk to my mom about it and we had a conference.
The teacher told my mom she never calls on me because I never talks and acts as
if I’m shy and doesn’t want to be bother so she didn’t bother me. One day she
pulled me to the side and told me these exact words. People don’t read minds
you have to communicate with ones so they can know what’s going on. She said
communication isn’t hard it’s just verbally talking. After that talk it was
time to begin communicating with friends, teachers etc. When I begin communicating
I didn’t stop. Now that I have that experience under my belt my mom says I don’t
know how to shut up now. Something that surprised me the most was all the
attention I begin getting when I start communicating with other.

ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found your voice and were encouraged to verbally communicate. As a professional in the field of early childhood education, it is essential that we teach and remind our children that we need to communicate, so our needs can be met. I remind my children and students that we use our words to express ourselves. We are no longer babies and do not need to bite or hit, instead we need to express our anger or frustration. By helping them at these early stages, we help to model and build a foundation for all of their future encounters with communication.
