Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share
knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is
composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors
such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture
and spacial distance between two or more people.
3 – 12CB – MA DE 132
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others,
in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, non-verbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal
skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal
cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate.
As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do not cease to exist although become
entwined in the total communication process.
