EFFECTIVE

COMMUNICATION
ELDEST SISTER THAT ALWAYS
MISUNDERSTOOD It was common to feel misunderstood as the
eldest sister. At times, our younger siblings
interpreted it differently, and simple acts done
with the intention of assisting them in something
resulted in disagreements and quarrel between
them. We tried to get our younger sister to do
chores one day, and it was not easy. But we
didn't blame things; instead, I realized that
communication was most important. Then I sat
down calmly, voiced her concerns, and listened
intently to my sister's response. As a result, we
became more patient, understanding, and willing
to see things through our sibling's eyes, which
improved our bonding.

communication for both learning and
socializing. So the student began to move
beyond their comfort zone after realizing
the importance of communication for
both learning and social connections.
Starting conversations or volunteering to
give presentations helped her gradually
gain confidence in herself . Engaging
positively with others by freely expressing
one's thoughts became more natural with
each passing time.
