We can communicate to express our emotions like courage or fear, joy or sorrow, satisfaction or disappointment with appropriate gestures and words as well as expressing wants and needs.
                                                 
                                                We communicate to persuade. It means that we want someone to do something and this desire of ours is communicated. The mother patting the child to stop crying, the advertiser displaying a model in a new t-shirt and the politician haranguing (urging) his audiences to vote for him are all having the same objective of persuading, while communicating it differently.

                                            Communication is crucial for developing positive relationships with children and their families, colleagues and other professionals. Communication allows ideas to be conveyed clearly and succinctly. It is a process by which two or more people exchange ideas, facts, feelings or impressions in ways that each gains a common understanding of the message.
