Talking back

Social

• The 4 year old student learned to express themselves and communicate their thoughts effectively through the "Talking back" activity, understanding the importance of using words to express emotions and ideas.
• Through this activity, the student developed their listening skills as they engaged in a conversation, actively paying attention to what the other person was saying before expressing their own thoughts.
• Participating in a dialogue during the "Talking back" activity helped the student to understand the concept of taking turns, learning to listen while others speak and then speaking when it's their turn.

Encourage continued development by creating scenarios where the child can practice expressing themselves through role-play, pretend play, or storytelling. Additionally, introducing games or activities that require turn-taking and active listening will further strengthen their social communication skills.
