Communication: A Bridge to Understanding

By the time an infant is 18 months old, he or she has begun to utter words that indicate they are in fact learning to communicate. Parents and siblings teach and encourage infants and toddlers their language development. By the age of five a child has basically learned to communicate effectively and in so doing gets most of his or her needs met.

Learning to communicate continues for life and becomes the means for happiness and contentment. Good communication builds a bridge for understanding oneself and others. When children see the world as safe and accepting, healthy self-confidence is established, a necessity for effective communication. 

Our expectations and intelligence are crucial for conveying conviction to what is communicated. The Lord God has given us this magnificent system of communicating to magnify our happiness and well-being. Communion with God is amplified as we offer him praise and thanksgiving for wonderful things he provides.
