Our Words Affect Others: Learning the T-H-I-N-K Strategy to Communicate
Communication is a powerful tool. It can be used to encourage someone and make them feel good. Our words have great power to influence others’ feelings. This month’s Parents Use Your Power newsletter provides a strategy to remind our children to T-H-I-N-K about what they are going to say BEFORE they say it.
By speaking in different ways, we can influence the listener’s understanding of what we say. Use this month’s PowerTalk to review the attributes of different types of speakers and learn how Word Power can influence the effectiveness of our communication skills.
