For those working with children, effective communication is a crucial part of building relationships and encouraging children's emotional and intellectual development.

This practical guide identifies the child and their relationship with the adult as the basis upon which real communication can be made. Topics covered include non-verbal communication, attentive listening, empathy, the part played by questions, working constructively with conflict and criticism, and communicating in groups. It also draws on the innovative ideas found in social pedagogic theory and practice, such as communicating with your head, hands and heart and how to differentiate between the personal, the professional and the private in your interactions. The book contains exercises, topics for personal reflection or group discussion, and suggestions for observations.

This will be an excellent source of advice and ideas for all those in the children's workforce including early years professionals, teachers, social workers, counsellors and practitioners working with children in care, including foster carers.

Industry Reviews
Petries's book, now in its third edition, is intended for people who work with or intend to work with children and young people in settings that range from nurseries to child minding, adventure playgrounds, clubs, play schemes, fostering and residential care. The third edition enlarges on previous editions with ideas from social pedagogy and interpersonal communication... The book aims to introduce ideas and values of social pedagogy that help practitioners become aware of the centrality of relationships and interpersonal communication to their practice, understand that effective interpersonal communication depends on acquiring relevant skills, and learn to communicate with respect and recognition of service users' equal worth... Petrie's deceptively simple approach succeeds in explaining how to deal with some complex practice situations... Petrie succeeds in conveying useful knowledge that could help practitioners to develop their skills.
