Hi this abouthow you communicate with others. features of effective communication are making eye contact, if you are talking to a child try and make sure you are at their level,using age appropriate language eg you would use more complex sentence structure when talking to an adult. Asking open-ended questions and giving the person time to say what they need to without you interupting shows that you value adults views and opinions. It is important to model effective communication as this shows respect and you are being a good role-model to the children as they learn by watching the adults around them
Think about adults and children that have speech or hearing dfifficulties and also those that have english as a second language.
hope this helps a bit
