When we experience something exciting, worrying, uplifting, or upsetting, one of the first things we do is to talk about it. This helps us to make sense of it, ask the questions we need, and share it with others. Sharing helps us to understand our own feelings, the perspectives of others and to process things that happen to us and in the wider world. Communication with others is integral to emotional development and our overall well-being.
In this course we look at common strategies suggested to support emotional development and well-being, and suggest adaptations for those who need additional communication support.
