If someone walks up to me and wants to have a conversation and does not use my name and it is important, it makes me feel very frustrated. Its not so bad if I am just meeting them for the first time and they dont know my name. I can let it slide. Now if I walk up to talk to a parent, the boss, or a co-worker then I get really angry and have to walk away and collect myself. Then go back to reapproach them. Also another big thing is eye contact I think it is very disrespectful when that is not in place. Now if i am getting greets with someone that complains all the time then my first step is to try to compromise with them. If they keep coming to me with the same complaints then I have decided to do a box that you can write down all your compliants. I will read them and work really hard to fix what is wrong. The third thing is if that dont work then I will have a conference time set for them to come in and sit down and we will write it all out and come up with a ageneda the will fix the complaints. I love my job in the childcare field so I will do whatever it take to keep the parents of the children in my facitly happy. The employees that work with me. This is my passion there is nothing more that i want to do but Childcare work.

The six C’s of communication:

Positive Communication Element No. 1: Clarity

Positive Communication Element No.2: Consistency

Positive Communication Element No. 3: Caring

Negative Communication Element No. 1: Confrontation

Negative Communication Element No. 2: Conflict

Negative Communication Element No. 3: Carelessness

I have read in chapter 2 that communication skill are very important. You have to clarify what you are speaking, you have to be consistant on all your dicipline actions talking with parents and with lesson plans. The positive communication element of caring is easy. Just love on the children and be caring to parents. I have also learned that avoid confrontation and have patience on conflicts and be caring instead of being careless.
