I recently had a disagreement with my dad for treating my younger brother not fairly. My dad thinks that my younger brother is not responsible and doesn’t care about saving his money. I have heard my dad screaming at him and telling him that he needs to grow up. Based on the conflict resolution that we studied this week communication climate is important is how we talk to one another. In this case, my dad is not showing empathy to my brother while communicating with him. He needs to understand his feeling and try to solve his issue with him differently and understanding his point of view. In this case the  three R’s, which is consist, of Respectful, Reciprocal, and Responsive, building positive interactions to promote effective relationships. Its important for my dad and brother to understand about the three Rs. This would positively impact communication because we must first respect others and our differences. The respect needs to be reciprocated between people. Reciprocating respect allows relationships to develop by effectively learning about each other and developing trust. Responsiveness shows that the person communicating is listening to each other (Chesire, 2007).

    Hello Naire. I totally agree with you. I have never been a fan of communicating through yelling. I think you gave your father excellent advice. To effectively communicate, everyone needs to show respect and promote positive interactions with each other. I believe by implementing the 3R's, this will happen. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hello Naire,

    I can see why you had a disagreement with your father. Sometimes in the midst of a conflict, we do not stop to think of all insider and outsider perspectives. He may not have thought about how you view his yelling at your brother or your feelings about it. That is nice that you stood up for your brother. Maybe he will be more gentle with him. I can definitely relate to your issue because my parents also frequently have talks with my brother about responsibility and saving money. Hopefully you can inform your father about different conflict resolution strategies and he can find more effective ways to communicate with your brother. Good luck with your situation. Thank you for sharing your story.

Sharing Web Resources I chose Association for Children Education International organization. ACEI is international organization and its belief that education is important for development. The focus of ACEI to educate all children , but their main focus is on meeting the education needs to the children that in need the most. Their work started in 1892 to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. In 1930 their work expanded to promote education to primary school years.

Children in United States and around the world are marching to protest against gun violence in schools. The violence in today’s world has become ordinary and common. This violence causes number of deaths, injuries, pain and fear throughout the world. I have leaned from this article that children march for tow reasons, they march to express their emotion and also to show to th...

Testing For Intelligence  I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
