The show I watched was season 1 Episode of the sitcom Still Standing. I had not only never watched this show I’ve never heard of it. I was able to watch it on You Tube.
The first seen was mother and daughter looks as though they were greeting each other in the morning. The little girl then becomes angry all of a sudden. She then starts to look annoyed and when a man walks in she looks happy again. They move over to the table and begin to start talking. The mother and father seem to be amused while the little girl seems to be frustrated and using hand gestures to make her point. She jumps up from the table and storms off as though she was upset. When I listened to this part of the show I was pretty dead on the mom and daughter greeted each other in the kitchen and the daughter asked if she could get a belly ring when her mother says no she instantly got upset and shouting that it was unfair. When dad walked in she thought she would win him over but he agreed with mom and that upset her so she go up and went to her room.
The second seen was the father walks into the sons room. He walks over and leans in close to him while he was working on the computer. They seem to be having a good conversation and dad then starts banging on the computer. He gets up and they pull chairs together it appears that they are having a man talk they are smiling, shaking their heads and mouths are open. When watching the show with words the father comes in and asks the son if he is going to blow up his school or do something crazy. They then as I assumed started talking about girls.
This assignment has really enlightened me by helping me to see that body language can really tell a lot. I was able to tell that the family was upset and what the men were talking about just by the way that they used body language. The way that we use nonverbal communication can tell a story that we may not want told. In my opinion it is very important that when using body language we are not giving the wrong impression of what’s being communicated.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI had a similar experience. I couldn't believe how much communication can take place without speaking. I suppose I have just never thought about it much....fascinating!

Wonderful post. I was able to figure out a lot of information about my show by using body language as well. Body language can communicate things to others that you may not realize that you are putting off. I also agree that children will try teachers and adults to see if they are on the same page. It is important for teachers and parents to communicate with one another to make sure they are consistent with one another. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post I love watching that show . I love the relationship the parents and how the are their to support the children . They used a lot of body language and facial expression to communicate. thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteDeon,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, because I have never watched “Still Standing.” It sounds like a very entertaining show; the way the dad communicates with the son, shows that they have a good bond. Effective communication creates good bonds among colleagues, families, children, and the community. In my experience with non-verbal communication, I have also learned that it tells a story; sometimes we think we are relaying the correct message, but our eyes are saying something else. Through this experience, I have learned to watch my non-verbal communication as well as my verbal communication. I hope as a professional, I am relaying a positive message to the children and families I serve.

Deon,
ReplyDeleteOur body language can tell people around us so much without us even knowing it. I know that I try to keep my professional life and my home life separate so I can focus on my job while there. My body language gave me away a few times without me even realizing it until one of my teachers asked me if I was alright. We do give off cues to those around us about our moods with the simplest gestures.
