Make them or break them

Ultimately language is the only way to communicate in today's society. Whether we use body language, verbal language, or sign language; everything we do sends a message to someone. When it comes to communicating with anyone you have to first decide what it is that you want to convey and what is the best way for you to do so. Like anyone I have my moments were I know what I mean but I don't use my language in a way to convey that correctly. With my youth or any youth for that matter you must start off setting the tone. Children respond well when everything is laid out on the table and they understand where you are coming from. I pride myself on saying what I mean and meaning why I say. It is simply a respect thing for myself and others. I use my voice to be heard and better understood. My body language doesn't always convey who we are that's why we have to educate ourselves and our youth on proper communiction skills so that we can better ourselves. Through this program Ive learned what children respond to and that is simply respect. Verbal respect. I know I my tone is appropriate my response will be the same. It's plain and simple.
