Episode Transcript:
Hey there. Just want to take a couple of seconds here to remind you to pay attention to how you're communicating, not just what you're communicating. We know that 93% of communication is nonverbal. So we want to be mindful of that. Three things that we can pay close attention to outside of our body language and our facial expressions, but are specific to the words we choose.
Is our tone, our volume and our cadence by paying attention to the tone, whether it is your normal tone, whether it's a little sweeter than normal, maybe it's a little more aggressive than normal. Pay attention to that. Also going to pay attention to the volume. We certainly don't want to get any louder than normal, but sometimes we do.
We want to try to keep our volume regulated or even maybe just a little bit softer, depending on the child, depending on the situation. And then the cadence. We can communicate a lot by our regular cadence with we have accelerated speech or slowed speech. So remember, 93% of communications, nonverbal. We want to pay attention to our nonverbals and specifically want to pay attention to our tone, volume and cadence, because that's how we use the words that we choose to use.
