Reflecting on Communication in the Early Childhood Field

The last past eight weeks has been a pleasant experience in learning new skills, different ideas , strategies  materials and how to effective communicate and collaborate with others. I myself learned from my entire classmate and bonded with this wonderful group and professor who I hate to leave this class, I have learned so much how to work together effectively and have effective communication with co – workers and families. The most amazing thing personally was to learn about my own communication style and the effect that it had on others was astonished. I like the simple fact now that I know my communication style as an educator and parent I can now make sure that I use different strategies to help me improve my communication skills when working with children and their families. As I stated above these last past  8 week have being very interesting and I never would had known how  to effectively communication with others. I am planning to continue to read all my resources and book to help me to improve and help others improve in his/her communication skills through modeling what I have learned in this particular class especially watching those educate video help me to have a better clarity of communication styles and I learned that we all communicate differently.

As an educator and student I would like to take this time to thank my wonderful professor who had being very encouraging, positive and direct with me to continue on my journey in the field of early childhood. I would like to thank this awesome class who had being very supportive as well and very genuine with their positive feedback they share over these lasted 8 weeks.  I have learned so much insight from my peers on how to better communicate effectively with others and how to handle conflict in a most effective way. All this information I learned in this class and from my peers will help me because I am planning to open up my own child care soon. This information will be a great benefit to me and my staff, children and their family.

I want to thank all my classmates and Dr. Parrish who has supports all of us in every way she knew how to make this journey for all of us successful. I want to wish everyone the best as we go our separate ways and continue to keep your head up because the best is yet to come for all of us and that is completing these last couple of classes to get our Master Degree. As we take our specialization course I am looking forward to learn just as much as I learned from my core course. I would like to stay in contact with all of you and especially the people who are in the Administration, Management & Leadership program please live your name and information  and you can always reach me at Walden email temika.mcaann@waldenu.edu.

Have a bless Christmas and a happy new year!
