I've cut and pasted this from an earlier post about effective communication for adults and children. Adjust it slightly if you need to.

Obviously a good and positive relationship helps the child's learning, the trust they learn to have in adults that care for them - seeing their parents have a good relationship with practitoners shows them their parents trust and respect us (and we them).
We all get more from each other if we input as well - sharing little tit bits of information that helps us to understand that child - such as they can now swim without armbands, they helped wash the dishes or they had a restless night - it helps you to understand how the child feels, or your planning in taking children's interest into account, 'if you have a 'sharing' time, they might like to share their news with others or you might read book on swimming or they may draw a picture of it etc

Here is the old paste section:

Sometimes it may be easier for you to look at the question back-to-front/turn it around, and you will get the answer.

What would happen if you didn't communicate well with adults? - arguments, bad body language, hostility, lack of respect, pulling apart instead of working together, falling out and perhaps a high staff turn over - not good for children is it?

How can you show children how we should behave?

by modelling good, cooperative, caring and respectful communication.
Today's children will be tomorrows adults and who are they learning from? - today's' adults.


How do we interact with children?
language age and stage appropriate, sentively using the right intonation, respectfully and listening to them. Giving them the time they need to speak, waiting and sharing in conversation, this shows them how to share and conduct conversation. Letting them know that what they say is important, encouraging them to communicate and further develop their language.

I'm sure you can think of lots more reasons after this starter.
