Developing Communication
Skills In Children
The outburst of technology and the widespread of
Internet have made the lives easier. Social
networking has become easier than it had been
ever before, but the dilemma of times is
deploying local communication among the masses.
Local communication, must say a better local
communication is an essential for any social
setup. Being in contact with local people either
through a speech or writing, direct
communication or using an external medium, i.e.
radio, TV etc is as important as it’s to be in
contact with the people worldwide. And so, we
need better communication skills.
Communication skills though can be enhanced in
any age, but the most suitable is childhood.
Skills developed during this age long last and
ensure a successful communicator. Preparing your
children for being leading communicators in
future is one the responsibilities of parents so
don’t ignore it. The future success of your
child entirely depends on the communication
skills he has, and the development of such needs
a little time and attention at your end.
There’re number of ways to boost communication
skills among children, but the root of all is
‘knowledge’ and the interpretation of words.
Knowledge increases with the experience, but an
individual cannot experience thousands of
situations in a limited time. A way to
experience thousands of feelings is to observe
them and they can easily be done either by
reading or watching. So, the best way to enhance
communication skills in children is to let them
experience maximum number of situations and
feelings, have them observe a lot of scenes, let
them explore the characters etc through watching
television and reading books. Reading books can
be much effective as parents can provide the
best books and control the process to a greater
extent, while chances of misusing the television
in young children are relatively larger.
Finally discussion, that brings out the hidden
skills of children; so discuss more and more,
i.e. what they’ve read, watched, observed,
thought etc. Discussing all these will construct
a bridge, helping children to develop their
communication skills on one hand and befriend to
parents on other. This leads them sharing their
problems and analyzing and solving others’
problems.
Give your children a small amount of time out of
your stringent schedule and let them explore the
world of communication and become successful.
