Webster's Dictionary defines the word communication as "the imparting or ex- changing of information or news." Com- munication goes much deeper than words alone. Every day we communicate through various means of technology in- cluding news and social media, through body language, and through our actions. Communication starts at birth and con- tinues throughout our life span. From infancy, babies use ways to communi- cate their needs to be fed, soothed, or changed. During the toddler years, as language skills develop, so does our com- munication style. As parents and caregivers, we model and teach communication. Much of our communication as adults is learned from the environment in which we were raised. Learning to communicate well is an on- going challenge and takes daily practice. There are many ways to teach effec- tive communication at any age. During the baby and toddler stages, rolling a ball back and forth helps practice taking turns speaking. It is important to speak clearly to children learning to talk so they understand the correct pronuncia- tion of words. Requiring the child to use words early in life rather than pointing or grunting encourages them to use their voice in communicating needs. At any age, it takes much practice to develop good listening skills. Teaching children to listen well can take a lot of patience. Practicing listening skills with young children can be done in fun ways, such as playing a game of "Simon Says." This allows them to practice and develop the skill of listening before acting. Other communication skills that are important to teach early are body lan- guage and manners, which are often part of a pre-school curriculum. Body language can include facing the person that is talking, nodding, and not inter- rupting. If you child interrupts during a phone conversation or other important adult conversation, talking with them about the importance of not doing so when it happens will help them succeed. A goal of positive communication is learning to understand the other person's point of view. Understanding is crucial during communication. Miscommunica- tion begins with misunderstanding. Even when you disagree with your child, re- peating an overview of what they said or what you heard is a good start. Validation is a key component in com- munication. Webster identifies validation as "recognition or affirmation that a per- son or their feelings or opinions are valid or worthwhile." Validation does not mean that you agree with what the person says or believe their opinion as fact. It does mean that you validate their right to have their own beliefs and they are respect- ed whether the statement is one that is agreed upon or not. By validating someone's feelings or thoughts, it makes them feel valued and builds upon the skill of understanding in communication. Often times as we move into adulthood opinions become stronger and deeper. Communication skills help a person succeed in life. People crave relation- ships, and when good communication is used those relationships can thrive. Com- munication can not only help in person- al relationships with significant others and in families, but in professional rela- tionships as well. If as an adult you find yourself strug- gling in relationships or in interactions with others, please seek a professional therapist to help you learn to communi- cate more effectively.
