COMMUNICATING & COLLABORATING IN THE EARLY CHILDHOOD FIELD
The next eight weeks of study for me will be in the area of communication. I am excited about this journey as communication is the life-blood of every lifestyle regardless of culture, ethnicity, nationality, or any other distinguishing differences within humanity. As I prepare for this journey I am reminded of my greatest childhood mentor of communication—my father. He was a Pentecostal preacher who believed in living according to the Word of God. He patterned his life after the life of Jesus Christ, particularly the part where Christ listened to people and understood their needs. My father was a very competent communicator whether he was dealing with parishioners, family members, or total strangers. He was great at exhibiting effective communication that was appropriate for any given situation (O’Hair & Wiemann, 2009). It is my hope and desire to model many of my own communication behaviors after this great measure of a man (Channey-White, 2011).

That is great another person who would model their Dad in Communication styes. I have an uncle who is a minister and he too was a great communicator. I guess ministers need to have effective communication in order to move their flock.
