Flourish Parent Workshop (Interactive, strategy-focused sessions)
Effective Communication Friday 6th March, 8.45am-11.00am
Focus: • What is effective communication? • Listening skills • Communication styles: passive, assertive, aggressive • Communicating clearly: ‘I’ statements • Building and supporting good communication habits Communication is about more than just exchanging information. It is about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to convey a message we need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what is being said and makes the others feel heard and understood.
Encouraging communication that develops expression of thoughts, feelings and ideas can positively influence a child’s relationships and behaviours throughout life. As well as benefiting self-esteem, problem solving abilities and behaviour, good communication skills are key to building and sustaining successful relationships, achieving goals and supporting wellbeing. This workshop provides an opportunity to explore how we can talk to children so that they will listen, listen to children so that they will talk and to experiment with tips and techniques that may encourage clear, confident, effective communication now and for life.
