Early Child Studies

As I prepare to move on into my specializations,  I would like to thank each one of you who visited my blog and posted comments, and also for supporting and increasing my knowledge thought out this course. It was my pleasure to team up with such a knowledgeable group of people who share common goals. Hope to see you in my upcoming courses 

Based on my pervious experiences with working with different groups to achieve common goal, the high performing teams are harder to leave because high performing teams share common vision, goals and stand strong together towards challenges to achieve the desire goal.

In the first assessment "communication Anxiety Inventory" I scored 55, and that is considered moderate communication anxiety and known as “situational” (Rubin et al., 2009). I was not surprised by the results because when I communicate in public, my anxiety level is higher. For example, I am not comfortable in public speaking, and when I have to speak, my anxiety level will get high and start experiencing a pounding heart, sweaty hands, and dry mouth.
