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.
