Hello Everyone,
This has truly been a great journey with everyone. I have learned so much from this communication class. I learned a great deal about my method of communication. I now know that communication is not just using words, but so many other physical attribute can influence others perception of what is being said. I do wish everyone the best in your endeavors in the early childhood field.

week 6 blog

I once worked in the public school as drug intervention worker. This was a grant program. The grant ended and the other five co-workers and myself had a program ending assessment. We meet with families and some of the children that were apart of our program and discussed the progress everyone had made. Some of the families that attended the reception expressed their love for the program and the benefits their families received.


This was a great group experience and all workers worked as a team. The program was working with children of families that were low-income and at risk for drug abuse and addiction. I have begun to understand how important it is to keep the lines of communication opened. I have learned that each individual should have a say when it comes to advocating and planning for all individuals involved. 

week 5 solving conflicts

I had a conflict with a coworker and it began with a misunderstanding of information received. I was not told about an important piece of needed information to complete an assignment. I inquired about this before I should have. I was not calm at the time of the conversation. My coworker became defensive and it lead to exchange of words. We immediately saw where this was going and decided to try and cool off, before more words were said. We later expressed apologies to each other after we both thought about the situation and understood what really happened.

I learned that one's must always approach others in a non-threating manner and give others an equal chance to explain their situation. Think about the consequences of your actions before you make comments to others, it can destroy a friendship and a good working relationship.
