Description: This explains why the core of good teaching is attunement, (being aware of, and responsive to, another). What will be heard, perceived, felt and learned in short, what the teacher will communicate depends upon how receptive the child is. How well a teacher reads a child's receptivity depends upon an understanding of how humans communicate without words.
