What is communication?

Communication Basic

It may seem like a simple question, but communication is more than talking! It is any form of message sent from one party to another, through sounds, words, or physical hints, like body language.

Baby won’t say their first meaningful words until they are about a year old. But even if they can’t form words yet, baby is still trying to communicate with you through cries, coos, facial expressions, and body language!

Communication plays such an important role in our lives. It is the cornerstone of healthy relationships. It is the vehicle for sharing our joy, fear, and other emotions. It is how we learn new things at school and work, and teach others those same skills. The benefits of communication long outlast childhood.
