Session Review 13th Sept - Language

The discussion on communication and language was extremely interesting.

 

When I used to speak to my daughter in 3 languages, I used to be told not to do it and confuse the child. I persisted becuase I wnated her to understand what is spoken in each of our families... It was quite nice to learn that it helps in expressing....

 

On another note - have been thinking deeply on commnication and expressing. Now feel that we can communicate thru' the body, but can we expree thru' the body?? Maybe body signs communicate more than words?

 

The poem on the room was quite interesting...

 

I am also reconsidering a point of view which I have had - that taking notes inhibits my absorbing what goes on in the class. The input - output quadrant is raising some questions in my mind. Maybe I need to store some pointers somewhere... But this is not resolved yet.

 

The other quadrant which we did about how we talk of something - describing vs giving examples ( see I cant get clearly the other quads - Uses, Decsibing and ??? - i recollect roughly classifying it as how) vs giving examples is something I am chewing on...

 

My experiences have now expanded to 2-3kids ( ones who come to play with my daughter). Thanks Aditi for pointing it out to me...
