Communication runs through almost everything: friendships, getting help, being understood, working with others, and one day the world of work. This topic gives your child the practical skills of communicating well, from listening and clarity to speaking in a group, handling difficult conversations, and connecting with people. None of it requires being naturally outgoing.
What is inside ‘Speaking Up & Communicating’:
- 11 focused modules, each built around one clear, practical idea worth understanding properly
- A real scenario in every module, so it never feels abstract
- A short challenge after each module to check understanding, worth up to 3 Feathers
- Key takeaways from every module on a card they can save to their phone and come back to whenever they need a reminder
It is written to be easy to follow and easy to relate to, for teenagers and older children, and needs no background at all. The modules build on each other, moving from why communication matters and how to really listen, through clarity, reading the room, and speaking to a group, to difficult conversations, disagreeing well, asking for what you need, writing clearly online, feedback, and building genuine connection.
By the end, your child will be able to express themselves clearly, listen in a way that builds trust, handle hard conversations calmly, and connect with people, all skills that shape nearly every part of life.
A taste of what your child will cover:
- How to really listen, and say what they mean clearly
- How to read the room and speak in front of a group
- How to handle difficult conversations and disagree without fighting
- How to ask for what they need and communicate well in writing
- How to handle feedback and build genuine connection with people
…and several more modules that build on each other.
