What are the types of communication skills in early childhood, and what do they involve?

This document outlines the types of communication skills in early childhood. Basic Communication Skills: Essential for social, emotional, and academic development, these skills involve listening, expressing needs, taking turns, using gestures, and making eye contact. They develop from infancy (0-8 years) and include verbal, nonverbal, and social abilities. The document categorizes these skills into two main types: 1. Nonverbal Communication (Birth onwards): Gestures and Body Language:* Includes pointing, waving, nodding, or reaching to express needs before speech develops. Facial Expressions and Eye Contact:* Involves using smiles, frowns, and eye contact to convey emotions and build emotional awareness. Touch:* Using hugs, holding hands, or proximity to convey comfort and safety. 2. Verbal Communication (Infancy to 8 years): Vocalization and Babbling:* Early noises, cooing, and babbling that develop into purposeful words. Expressive Language:* The ability to communicate thoughts, needs, and feelings through words and sentences. Send me the next one 📸
