Week 4-Communicating
Communication is a big part of my job and is the biggest part of my investigation. I have to interview families and everyone that is part of the referral. Listening and talking is what I do on a daily bases. There are certain things that I am allowed to say doing my investigation. I communicate with the children differently than the adults. I ask a lot of open ended questions and I listen carefully in regards to the information that I am listening to. This week assignment and reading confirmed how important and effectively communication and listening skills are. I have to be careful on how I say certain things because I do not want what I say to be taking out of context and have a negative effect with the ongoing investigation.

Lavonda,
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely important for you to analyze your communication skills, especially if you are constantly in communication with others. I was thankful to have had the opportunity to analyze my own skills because some things I have been doing for years and had never truly analyzed them.
Thanks so much for your post, Lavonda! Have a great remainder of your weekend.
Being a great listener is a big part of your job but can your body language give away a part of what you are trying to find out? I am glad you are very careful in how you present your questions and finding during your investigations. Keep up the great job.
