Communication

Communication is like a dance. One person takes a step forward; the other takes one back. Even one misstep can land both on the floor in a tangle of confusion.

The Power of Words

Communication has the potential to be the most powerful positive tool in our lives. The words we choose, and the words we use can often determine the success or failure of our interactions.

According to research psychologists, the average one-year old child has a voabulary of three words. By fifteen months most kids can speak about nineteen words. At age two the average youngster has increased their vocabulary to 272 words. By age three there is a significant increase to 896 words, 1540 words by age four, and 2072 words by age five. By age six the average child has 2562 works in his or her vocabulary with which to communicate.

Our accumulation of words continues to grow as we reach adulthood, but just knowing words is not enough to ensure effective communication. It takes more than vocabulary to commucate well; it requires effective listening and knowing which words to use, or not use in each situation.

Dorothy Nevill said " The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid, the wrong thing at the tempting moment".

The lesson here is to think before you speak.
