Different ways of communicating

This week lesson had to do with communicating with respect for the other person.  We learn about the Platinum Rule:
Do to others as they themselves would like to be treated.
We need to have regular communication with our parents so that we can establish trust.


Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?
With the different cultures that I have worked with over the years.  I tried to show respect to my parents and the child.  The only time that I ran into differences was at the holiday seasons.  We were able to meet and discuss ways to help our student to understand the traditions of their cultures and our cultures traditions.

To understand communication more fully, you assess the quality,  or communicative value, of your communication. (O'Hair, Weimann, Mullin, & Teven, 2015)



Some of the ways is to learn about the other culture traditions so that I may teach some of the culture to my students. We will learn about how other places do things.

I will communicate with the parent daily by e-mails, parent teacher conferences and phones calls.

I will bring in some experts if I need help with communicating.
