- How might Culture Myopia negatively impact Early Childhood communicating interacting with young children, families, colleagues, and community
It may affect our communication negatively because within a classroom there is ALWAYS diversity and in order to promote this we must be willing to accept it. As stated by O'Hair “…successful intercultural communication requires mindfulness, respect for others, and accurate perceptions of situations” (2015, p. 43). When we interact with colleagues, families, children, we must respect their beliefs, understandings, and feelings.
- Analyze Relationship between Platinum Rule and effective communication
Based on being an effective communicator and the Platinum Rule you need to treat other’s the way you want to be treated. All communication should be valued and respected regardless of age, sex and what the message is, (Beebe, Beebe, &Redmond, 2011, p. 114).
- Describe strategies for communicating effectively with those from different cultures
In a disagreement both parties need to be respectful, they should treat each other how they want to be treated. This is when the Platinum Rule comes in handy, as adults there has to be a compromise “Do unto others as you would have do unto you”, (Beebe, Beebe, & Redmond, 2011, p. 114)
I love your statement that there is always diversity in our classroom and in order to promote this we must be willing to accept this (Lebed, 2017). This is the way of America and we need to support those who are diverse from us because these children are this country's future.
ReplyDeleteTinka,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Your title: "Each person is different" was really all you needed to write; it said it all!!! I think once we realize that, maybe we can start accepting one another. Why are people so hellbent on making people (especially children) conform to a certain way instead of just allowing everyone to be THEMSELVES????? I've said it over and over, respect is something I think our nation is losing more and more each day. If we accept and respect each other, we will be much better people.
