Classic Baby Babble Video!

It's preschool week here at Communiation FUNdamentals as we get ready for our weekly podcast on the Communication Comedy Network!  This week we are asking the question if it's too early to begin teaching our preschoolers to communicate effectively. Preschoolers have a natural curiosity and a hankering for learning.  Preschoolers are the most teachable students and it can be a blessing to begin teaching them these vital skills.  To illustrate just how much young children feel the need to communicate with us, I give you this video: Tune in to tomorrow's Talk Talk Show: The Talk Show About Talking on the Communication Comedy Network and find out how and what we should teach our preschoolers about communication skills!  Each Thursday...

Oct. Mailbag-Teaching Preschoolers

If communication is so important, why isn't everyone studying it?

"A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." Proverbs 25:11 This week on The Talk Talk Show on the Communication Comedy Network, I'm asking the question, "If communication is so important, why isn't everyone studying it?"  In my seminars I ask how many think communication skills are important for every day life.  Just about everyone in the audience will raise their hand.  However, when I ask my next question, I get puzzled looks:  How many of you have studied communication skills or are teaching them to your children? "The wise in heart accepts commands, but the chattering fool comes to ruin." Proverbs 10:8 Usually about three hands go up.  One says she took a speech...
