Your Question?
Hello I am just needing some help in understanding a question for me to then answer it, the wording of the question is really confusing.

Question: Explain the differences in response which apply to these age groups when communicating positively
0-2 years toddlers
3-5 pre-schoolers
6-12 years primary


any help would be great so I can then answer the question, I just need to understand the question before I attempt to answer it. thank you!!!

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
What does it mean "in response"? the response of the child who is receiving the positive communication or the response of the early childhood teacher? The question before this one was to give examples of techniques that early childhood educators should use when communicating positively to children and I answered that question with no worries so am I suppose to say how the children of all these ages will respond differently to the techniques used?

Description and Message:

[Lorina]

From what I understand it's basically asking how you would communicate positivity differently as the educator for each of the different age groups. For example:

0-2 years toddlers - you would use a lot of non-verbal actions such as a smile, hug, high five, thumbs up, clapping hands etc.
3-5 pre-schoolers - you can use simple words of encouragement such as you did it, I like it, awesome job, great work etc
