Kids teaching

The very first year of a child means a lot. During this time a child learns how to tell about its needs and the parents learn how to understand these nonverbal signs. At the same time parents teach a child to "read" facial expressions, smiles, tones of voice, gestures. Automatically, the children inherit your mimic and tone habit in order to use them throughout their lives. That is why it is better to speak to a child in a normal way, without lisping and words changing. A child is to distinguish all the spectrum of the emotions and tones. The psychologists say that this teaching is to be provided in the natural conditions. To compare, showing pictures with the different facial expressions is not natural. Your own grimaces are natural. In addition, it establishes links with your kid. It is well-known that kids used to be more empathetic to those relatives who play with them much.

So, let's be back to nonverbal communication. Introducing nonverbal channels, the situations when you use more nonverbal means that verbal seem to be effective. So, when you are walking with your child along the street and see a cat, for example, do not tell "Look at it! What a funny kitty!". Instead of that exclaim "Oh!" in a high expressive tone and point this cat. To combine verbal and nonverbal means, play with a child. Tell a child what to do and show it. The main character of your game could be a favorite character of a child. For example, princess. "Princess gets up in the morning and washes her face". A child is to repeat. "Princess does her hair" and show this action, a child is to repeat again. Puzzles and charades mean a lot too.

Be a good teacher and counselor to your children. It is something that they really need.
