    I would adapt my communication for a child by making sure I was speaking to them at a level they will understand & also choose words suitable for their age. I would also make sure I come down to their level whether that meant sitting or kneeling so that we are at the same level. Physically we are on an equal level and not towering over them which wont make a great start for effective or positive communication and could make the child feel uneasy.

They may simply wish to hold your hand when they talk to you which can be reassuring both physically and also make them feel they have you attention and will listen

    There are persons I have met in life that speak a lot, but say little. A person might be using a lot of words while speaking but conveying little information. It is very important to learn how to use words effectively in order to achieve your goal (whether it is to teach, to inform, to persuade, to critique or to comfort). There is no person on this Earth that has not regretted saying the wrong words at the wrong time in their lives. Speaking the right words to relate messages, meanings, emotions is an art that needs to be learned, and it is not easy no matter if we have the gift of speech or not.

    This, coupled with the fact that conversations took considerably longer exacerbated my frustration. When I was able to communicate effectively and my partner correctly identified my statements, there was a sense of accomplishment. However, my communication partner would quickly respond using her speech, which left me with an uneasy feeling. In a conversation with two participants who speak, there is a familiar rhythm within a conversation. During this communication experience, I found that, due to my delayed ability to convey my message, I felt I was significantly holding back my partner, thereby, throwing off the familiar rhythm of a speech conversation which added to my frustration.

    Find My Voice Accomplishments take me one step closer to happiness and tranquility. For example, maintaining an “A” in a rigorous course, helping others that are struggling, cook for my family, etc. are minor achievements and events that have formed me into a better being. Sometimes, ignorance gets the best of me, and it does conquer my sweet, timid personality that I possess. Accordingly, my accolades never suggest nor imply I am better than anyone else. I never consider highly of myself because we are equally intelligent in our own separate ways.

    Additionally, I found it surprisingly hard to really express the most appropriate level of sympathy and validation needed. Overall, I found it hard to maintain the most level of appropriate vocal qualities. For example, whenever Ian would talk about his past of negligence from his parents, I really found it hard to express how sorry I was that he had to go through that.
