Introduction
Communication involves the sharing of ideas and information. It is also defined as an interaction between two people in which something is exchanged. Emotional competence is the key to strong preschool social skills (Denham 1997).
Communication is a learned skill. Most people are born with the physical ability to talk, but we must learn to speak well and communicate effectively. Speaking, listening, and our ability to understand verbal and nonverbal meanings are skills we develop in various ways.
