Getting to Know Your Habitually Disruptive Student: Questions that Open the Door to Communication

Image
What follows is a list of questions that you can ask children to learn about their preferences, opinions, beliefs, and experiences. If your students can manage this task independently, ask for their written answers. For a child with weaker writing and expressive skills, have him or her answer the questions orally while you write notes for future reference. Alternatively, just ask one or two questions at a time, and take mental notes. This “ All About Me” kind of activity helps in bonding with children and in building rapport. More specifically, these questions can be great “door openers” to start a conversation and/or to move a conversation that is “stuck” because the child refuses to talk. To download this activity as a reproducible, click here . 1.      What is your favorite color? 2.      What is your favorite holiday? 3.      What is your favorite TV show? 4.      Who is your favorite friend? 5.      What is your favorite food? 6.      Which food do you want ban

Chapter One What is Interpersonal Communication? 1.       Interpersonal communication is the process of sharing thoughts, feelings, and information with one another. At the core of this process are the two elements of message sending and message reception ; however, interpersonal communication goes beyond a superficial exchange of “hellos,” referring to both the content and the quality of the message, and how we can develop and/or strengthen relationships from the messages we share. 2.       Interpersonal communication can take place with or without words.
