6165: Communicating With Other Cultures

-

    Communication means for people to convey, receive information, and transfer it on to others. Understandability is essential in communication. I use active listening skills to make sure I understand and the other person understands me. I am careful about getting a clue in their feedback to know that the recipient has adequately received the conversation's information. In intercultural communication, I excite when trying to communicate with someone who can have the knowledge, understanding, and different values, beliefs, and perceptions about life. I try to understand the differences between communication content with people from the opposite culture and their non-verbal communication. I pay attention to being attentive and aware of my communication.

    Communicating between different cultures is a situation that requires conscious and empathetic behavior. Being empathetic and understanding and using polite language shows our genuine interest in the conversation. Bennette's "Platinum Rule" teaches us to treat others how they want to be treated; we need to think and use that (Beebe et al., 2011).

    Hello Behice,
    I believe that active listening skills are so essential when communicating with others, it lets them know that you are listening with all of you, no distractions. Intercultural communication also makes me excited because I can communicate with people that I can relate to. It is important that we understand different communication skills from other cultures.Great post!

    Good morning Behice,
    You identified being conscious as an important part of communication with respect to cultural differences. Being conscious of one's behavior, is related to being mindful in communication and so important for effective communication.

Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

    Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field   Faster than we ever thought: the first years of a child’s life set the stage for all future growth. In the earliest years of life, especially from pregnancy to age three, babies need nutrition, protection, and stimulation for healthy brain development. Recent advances in neuroscience provide new evidence about a baby’s brain development during this time. As a result, we know that in their earliest years, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate – according to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, more than 1 million every single second – a pace never repeated again (UNICEF, 2017).  POVERTY is one of the biggest problems disturbing the education system of the countries. When families live in poverty, it becomes impossible for the next generations of that family to get out of this situation. With early childhood education, young ages from low-income families get a q...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

-
  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

I am not a good podcast listener, I have listened to English podcast when I was learning English, but I hope to turn my routine into habits with this lesson. In my researches, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-early-childhood-research-podcast/id1039178520 apple's podcasts caught my attention, and I found works on a wide range of topics in early childhood. The website that I decided to look at is the NAEYC website. I chose this website to have general knowledge about my field, to access information quickly, and to keep the developing resources under control. For this, we must continuously check. This website gives us a lot of awareness for our career and why we do our job. Also, this website provides us with positivity and encouragement during all trial periods we encounter every day.
