Communicating with Colleagues

My life is surrounded by children from the time I wake up to the time I lay my head down on the pillow.  Between Disney and NICK, the television is always blaring.  I would be lying to you right now if I told you that I monitor what they watch on the two channels.  So this assignment was pretty easy.  I watch the shows but really do not pay attention to what is being said.  I chose to watch Jessie from the Disney channel.  I was amazed with the amount of talking that went on between the children and the nanny without yelling or screaming.  Everyone had their own opinion of whatever situation was going on but they all were brought back together by Jessie with the communication she used by relating to them with experiences she has had growing up.  Along with the light hearted laughter that goes on between them all their is respect and love among the all.

Working among some of the most talented educators sometimes communicating with them can be challenging.  Everyone wanting the absolute best for the education program we work for but are so passionate at times words are exchanged that can put others in a bad mood.  As Jessie did in the television show, using past experiences assist with my communication with my colleagues.  I believe that every experience in life is a lesson learned and I love sharing those with others so that they do not make the same mistakes that I made.  Communication is that hardest act that most of us have difficulty with but it really should be the easiest task in hand.
