6.  Teachers should always have a good
observation skill so as to ensure proper
development of his/her students
 Children need to be keenly observed for their
skills, interests and needs to be determined

9.  Children face many issues and have several
concerns related to education, family or any
other. These need to be identified and be dealt
with
 There are many ways in which one can observe
the environment, such as:
 Natural Observation
 Controlled Observation
 Participant Observation
 Non-Participant Observation
We should know about all the above ways
and should have the ability to use any of
them at any time.

12.  Why listening skills?
 The satisfaction in a child that he/she is
being heard in school, home or elsewhere; is
very important for his/her mental
development

13.  The process of listening is the first one
undertaken by any human. Then come,
speaking, reading and writing
 The processes of ‘listening’ and ‘hearing’
differ from each other. Listening is with the
mind and hearing is from the senses.
 How we can improve listening skills, in this
session mentor will explain about how our
body language and personality too can
influence a child thus, we need to be
careful.
