Media Training: How to Avoid Being Misquoted

Posted by Dean on May 26th, 2008

Media coaching is the best way to learn speaking techniques. Only with control over your thoughts and composed speech, the risk of misquotation can be reduced. If you would take media training then you would be able to save yourself from being misquoted

Here are four ways you have to follow if you want to eliminate the risk of being misquoted.

1) Try to become more accurate. Don’t try to give long speeches. People who say more have the chances of misquotation. Write one or two pages consist of basic facts regarding your views for them. It would be useful in several ways. It allows you to provide basic information during the interview instead of giving details and reporters have the opportunity to   get your quote right and make it significant.

2) If you are giving interview on phone, slow down your speech so that reporter can understand your each and every word. Similar in personal interview when reporter is writing down your speech, give enough time to catch every word.

3) Sometime reporters offer interviews through email. You are auspicious enough if such an opportunity you have. It allows complete control over your words but carefully check you response before sending to reporter if needs correction. Do not rely on this method of interviewing because you have to establish good relations with reporters that can be achieved over phone or in a personal meeting.

Process of Learning

Posted by Dean on May 21st, 2008

A child is always in the process of learning. In the beginning she learns by watching her mom. Later by watching her environment, things of the house, her father and whatever that comes before her.

If she is watching television all the time, it is not her fault. What else is there so varied? It is your fault for not giving her the exposure she deserves. Take her to some garden and see how much she will enjoy the greenery and flowers. Take her to shopping-mall with you and see how surprised she will be by seeing so many items.

After admitting her to kindergarten you think that responsibility of education of your child now rests with her teacher only. This is not proper on your part. Teacher will certainly do her job. Your child will remain with the teacher only for few hours a day. Rest of the time she will be at home with you.

Avail every opportunity you come across to educate you child. If you think that she is too young to help you in your household chores, you are wrong. There are many small things which take a lot of your time.

She will enjoy doing all those things that you have asked her to do. Keep in mind these are but activity lessons for your child. This way she will learn to do many small things and become very helpful for you.

If your child successful in their life then all credit goes to his/her parent and if your child is a spoiled then every blames goes to you.

Parents are the first role model for their child so one should be careful through the stages of parenting.

When a child firstly starting reading and writing they feel it’s really interesting and that is the time parents should encourage the child to write and read. Good hearing is also an important factor in home environment. A child in the learning period hearing anything will adopt it and will repeat it. So talk with your child in correct and good language, play with your child frequently and try to include educational games which give your child information as well as entertainment like rhyming games, vocabulary games, alphabetical games, etc. If the parents teach the children writing and reading techniques then the children easily grasp the lessons in class.

While the child is learning to write, parents can give guidance that how to write and read. This can improve the child’s reading and writing at the same time. Today’s parents feel free when they admit their children in school and never forget to punish them when they score poor marks. But parents are forgetting that it is not his/her fault alone. If your child’s education is starting from school then he/she cannot cop up with the syllabus easily. First of all you should analyze your child and also spend time with them and try to find out his/her problem. Some children are suffering from writing disorder and some are reading disorder.
