hi all,

playing the conflict using puppets was excellent. the emphasis now was more on the event than the characters(me). i was able to realise my weakness, my mistakes which i was not able to see at the time of conflict. we can also use puppets in our day to day life and instead of saying or arguing with the person we can do the same to his/her puppet. that can make our life easier.

 

not communicating effectively is as good as not communicating atall.  

ratnesh kept on saying to complete assignments, write reviews. he even send gentle remainders, but things didn't move as he wanted. his communication was not effective. few words from aditi has triggered the process. her's is an effective communication.

for a communication to be effective it should be combined with appropriate expressions (facial or tonal quality or written, etc). i feel aditi's communication was effective because her voice, her expressions, her body language was supporting what she was saying.

 

explaning using examples triggers the imagination and thinking. so next time a kid brings something. along with praise i have to ask the child questions related to the work. it not only helps me in finding out what the child knows but also makes the child curious to find more.
