What is a Good Communicator?

Hi Naomi! Let’s talk about what it means to be a good communicator. It’s like being a superhero for talking and listening. Here are a few special things good communicators do:

  1. Listening Carefully: Good communicators listen when others are speaking. It's like when you play a game with your friends; you have to hear what they say so everyone has fun!
  2. Using Nice Words: They use happy and friendly words. When you say "please" and "thank you," you make people smile!
  3. Making Eye Contact: They look at people when they talk. It shows you care about what they are saying, just like when you look at your friend when they tell a funny story.
  4. Asking Questions: Good communicators ask questions if they don’t understand something. It’s like raising your hand in school; you want to know more about what you’re learning!
  5. Sharing Ideas: They share their stories and feelings. It’s fun to tell your friends about your favorite toys or how your day was, right?

So, being a good communicator means being a great listener, using nice words, looking at others when they talk, asking questions, and sharing your own ideas. Just like in a fun game with friends, everyone gets to play together!
