Exercise 3. Read the passage, then circle the correct answers.
Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and develop
emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for example. This
warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to be close to your child.
Some children with special needs - for example, children with autism and sensory sensitivities -might
find body contact difficult.
On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication - for example, a grumpy tone of voice or a
frown - when you’re doing something fun together might send the message that you don’t really want
to be there.
So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective. For
example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and shape.
But when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the nonverbal - after
all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication by watching
you. For example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more likely to do the
same.
1. A hug or a kiss sends the message that ______________.
A. I want to be loved B. I want to be near C. I want to be emotional
2. Children with autism and sensory sensitivities find it hard to ______________.
A. love B. communicate C. contact physically
3. A frown sends the message that ______________.
A. I don’t want you B. I want to be near C. I don’t really want to join
4. ______________ makes words more effective.
A. Using positive actions and body language
B. Combining verbal and nonverbal communication
C. Explaining a problem using body language
5. The best way for children to learn nonverbal messages is through ______________.
A. observation B. communication C. imitation
