Effective communication is important starting from birth. Warm, gentle, and responsive communication helps a child. Children feel safe and secure in their world. Communication also helps to establish and strengthen relationships with the child.<br><br>In order to grow, develop and enhance skills, children need safety, security, and strong relationships, hence communicating well with them is essential to development. The\u00a0top schools in Gurgaon\u00a0recognize this and focus on the development of communication skills in the child.<br><br>For a child, it is important to communicate and express his \/ her thoughts and feelings freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As educators, we use various strategies to bring out the best in the child, as well as boost the child&#8217;s communication and listening skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication skills are important in child development and growth for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clear expression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential that children express themselves clearly and convey their feelings in a better manner.<br><br>Communication skills can facilitate learning and meaningful exchange of information with others.<br><br>They also enhance the child\u2019s social IQ by helping her build healthy relationships during her interactions with others.<br><br><strong>Complete Attention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With children being exposed to a wide range of devices from a tender age, it is essential to help them understand that their complete attention is required when someone is speaking to them. We always encourage the child to look at the person when speaking to them. This will teach them to always pay attention to what is being said.<br><br><strong>Open Ended Questions<\/strong><br><br>We encourage the use of open-ended questions with school children \u2013 for example, start with \u2018What could we do&#8230;.?\u2019, \u2018Can you find a way to&#8230;..?\u2019 \u2013 has shown it can support learning and develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills. This is compared to closed questions such as, \u2018What is the capital of France?\u2019 which needs a one-word answer only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Active listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a child to improve their communication and listening skills. It is very important to build trust between you and your child. If you won&#8217;t talk to them or listen to them properly, it can diminish their self-expression, and self-esteem which is an important factor that helps children to improve their communication and listening skills.<br><br>So these are some of the most important points that are followed and practiced at the\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vega.edu.in\/cbse-schools-in-gurgaon\" target=\"_blank\">top CBSE Schools in Gurgaon<\/a><\/strong>.<br><br>As it is well said that Children need models rather than critics. We need to listen to our children rather than pointing out their mistakes and help them communicate and express themselves freely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mahima Massey\u00a0 From personal relationships to the workplace, communication is a make-or-break skill.
