Can Communication Difficulties Effect Behaviour?

If a child cannot explain certain things to his/her satisfaction (and if there is pressure from an adult or child) it can cause the child to possibly not share as often and possibly get frustrated easily. This can cause them to think that people don't understand and that they aren't being listened to. And it can also cause them to feel that it is too hard to deal with and want to run away from situations that could be talked out. It is important to give them all the support they need during this time helping them to relax and share to the best of their ability... asking them questions along the way to challenge them approach the subject in a different way which may make it increasingly easier to express themselves verbally. Keeping communication open and hassle free will help to alleviate these issues.

A good form of communication with a child is through play. Through play you can increase the childs ability to express his or herself. Drawing pictures together and telling stories are good vehicles for learning and it will help increase the childs vocabulary and reduce frustration. Some children can communicate better using pictures and words together. A simple example is to show a montage of foodstuffs and they can point out what they want to eat. Of course get them to say the words as they could get lazy and just point to things. As for tempers, try playing physical games and this will tire them out quicker and also make them more suscetable to work with them on their vocabulary skills.
