While reading the articles for this week, I found interest in the article, "The Soundscape of Early Childhood." This is where I realized that the tone of voice of a teacher or caregiver really matter when it comes to talking to children.
Certain sounds, music, voices, instruments, and more can alter children's moods and attitudes for better or worse. Sound can improve performance or totally destroy performance of a child. Building your tone of voice in your classroom will help develop trust, lower conflict and aggression, and just create a better flowing classroom.
An article from Edutopia described the benefits of finding your tone of voice to benefit the growth of classroom culture and how different tones can either help in certain situations or hinder you.
This article was a great read and put in perspective the importance of self-regulation when it comes to how a teacher or caregiver may speak to children whatever their age may be.
