“As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” This old saying emphasizes the crucial role of early childhood education. In preschool education, pedagogical communication is key, unlocking the doors to a child’s heart. But what are the principles of pedagogical communication in preschool? Let’s explore!
The Importance of Teacher-Child Communication in Preschool
Pedagogical communication is more than just talking; it’s an art. It’s the bridge between teachers and children, helping children absorb knowledge, develop character, and grow holistically. Effective communication creates a positive learning environment, sparks a love for learning, and encourages children to confidently express themselves. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert in Hanoi, shared in her book “Nurturing Potential”: “Pedagogical communication is the art of touching a child’s heart.”

Key Principles for Effective Preschool Communication
To achieve highly effective pedagogical communication, teachers need to master these principles:
Respect and Equality
Children have self-esteem too. Respect their opinions and feelings, no matter how naive they may seem. Avoid imposing your own thoughts on them. Ms. Pham Thi Hoa, principal of Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hue, once said: “Treat children like little friends, listen and share with them.”
Positive and Encouraging Language
“Kind words are free but worth much.” Use positive and encouraging language. A compliment or a gentle pat on the head is more effective than a thousand scoldings. You can learn more about the importance of encouraging children in the preschool activity report (model 22).
Listening and Understanding
“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not fear a hundred battles.” Listen to children and understand their thoughts and desires. Only by understanding what they think and want can we better help them.
Flexibility and Creativity
Each child is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all communication method. Be flexible and creative in your communication approach to suit each individual. Ms. Le Thi Mai, author of “Preschool Teaching Secrets,” shared: “Turn each lesson into an exciting adventure for children.” Using aerobic dance music for preschoolers is also a creative way to communicate and connect with children.
A Story About Pedagogical Communication
I will always remember the story of little Minh, a shy and quiet boy. Every time he came to class, Minh would shrink into a corner, afraid to communicate with anyone. The homeroom teacher patiently talked to and encouraged Minh every day. She also regularly involved Minh in group activities, creating opportunities for him to express himself. Gradually, Minh became more active and confident. This story demonstrates the power of pedagogical communication in changing a child’s life.
