Most of us think that great ideas were the result of genius thinking. However, many of the

greatest discoveries and inventions in history began with very simple beginnings.

In the 18th century, James Watt was boiling water at home. As the water began to boil, he

suddenly noticed that the steam was pushing the lid of the kettle. From this, he created the

steam engine.

In ancient Greece time, Archimedes stepped into a bath tub and felt that water was being

pushed out when he stepped in. This is how he came up with the idea of how to find the

purity of gold.

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell and hit him on

There are many other examples of how great ideas began with simple beginnings. What one

needs to become an inventor are careful observation and a lot of hard work.

Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and

develop emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed,

for example. This warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you

want to be close to your child.

Some children with special needs – for example, children with autism and sensory

sensitivities –might find body contact difficult.

On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication – for example, a grumpy tone of

voice or a frown – when you’re doing something fun together might send the message that

you don’t really want to be there.

So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective.

For example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and

shape.

But when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the

nonverbal – after all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal
