1.1. When people want to make connections. ...How do they act? How do they talk? How do they listen? In what ways is this culturally embedded?
ordinary people learn the skills of establishing and maintaining relationships all the time. You don't need to be particularly charming, witty, or talented. However, if you are charming, witty, or talented, these guidelines may help you, in conversations and listening. One thing that can help connect people across cultures is good listening. Listening is a tool that people of all ages, races, abilities and languages can use to help establish good communication and trust with one another. All communication is cultural, it comes from the ways we have learned to speak and give nonverbal messages. We do not always communicate the same way from day to day, since factors like context, individual personality, and mood interact with the variety of cultural influences we have internalized that influence our choices. Communication is interactive, so an important influence on its effectiveness is our relationship with others.
1.2. How have you seen others connect with children in ways that you appreciate?
I have seen others connect with children in ways that I appreciate by seeing children as more than just students, and the life they have in class. It’s important to show interest in students outside of the day's homework and the classroom. Work at getting to know the students as individuals, find out their interests, initiate conversations with them about school and other activities, or compliment them on their clothing. Talking with them and listen to what's on their minds, children will begin to see that you as someone who is genuinely interested in them
1.3. What are the guidelines about setting rules?
Guidelines about setting rules for children, is to express examples of misbehavior with a clearly defined rules or instructions. Don't be vague, be precise in what you say, and state clearly the behavior you desire. In power struggles the first step in resolving a no-win situation is to withdraw from the conflict, then apply positive reinforcement, and apply the rules consistently. And use rules that are fair and attainable, and avoid trying to change "no-win" behavior through punishment, like wetting, soiling, hair pulling, or thumb sucking. Give the highest priority to issues of safety, and equal importance in prevention of harm to others, including parents, other children, adults or animals.
