Communication channels between me and the school – Activity

Individual Parents · Parents Organization · Professionals (school) · Attachment · doc · Activity


ACTIVITY  30 minutes
Should I do the activity alone? You may like to share it with your partner, if you are a two-parent family. You can also reflect on it with your child, changing roles and acting out communicationsituations.
After completing the activity… I should be able to:

  • Identify specific topics I discuss with my child’s teacher(s).
  • Recognize the communication style I usually show when talking about that specific topics with my child’s teacher(s).
  • Identify some indicators of my verbal (words) and body language associated with that communication style, as well as some of my feelings.
  • Think about some positive changes I might introduce in my communicationstyle with the teacher(s).
Before I start, what will I need to do this activity?       Sheets of paper and pencils. You might like to add some images or emoticons.
 

What do I have to do?

  1. Taking into account the characteristics of the communication styles described in activity 1:1. Think about a specific topic you discussed with your child’s teacher. If your child has more than one teacher, think of one of them.

2. Try to recognize the communication style you and the teacher used to communicate with each other when talking about that specific topic.

3. Try to draw a picture of your face and body and the one of the teacher while communicating with each other on that particular topic. You may also like including some emoticons! 😀

4. Finally, write down how did you feel when communicating with your child´s teacher about that topic.

5. If it is the case, suggest any positive changes you may like to introduce in your communication style to improve even more your relationship with the teacher.

 

In the link you will find an example of a writing template.
