Communication is more than just words. Much of what we convey is expressed nonverbally through body language. In this lesson of the G.RE.AT. Program, students identified the many aspects of communication: words, tone of voice, and body language. Students discussed how messages can be misinterpreted and ways to prevent this from happening, such as asking questions when they are unsure or do not understand, In addition, students had the opportunity to practice communicating feelings and reading body language of others. Correctly interpreting messages from the social environment: can help children identify and avoid dangerous situations. You can support your child by discussing and practicing good communication skills in your home. Being aware of body language and tone of voice can help with understanding each other and communicating thoughts and feelings effectively. Thank you, Your G.RE.AT. Instructor
