I am somebody (Life skills 14-19)

Communicating with elders


Listen Later

Today’s episode will focus on communicating with elders

Why do you think we choose this topic? In previous episodes we have learned about gender differences and power. As you grow up you become more independent and able to make your own decisions. This can be a source of conflict with elders, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Learning to communicate well and have a good relationship with elders will help you to gain respect and benefit from their experience.

After this episode, you will be able to:

1) Describe how good communication requires seeing things from different points of view

2) List some of the roadblocks when communicating with elders

3) Explain the 5 steps for effective communication with elders
