A substantial number of research projects have shown that having the ability to express yourself properly, and understand with equal clarity what those around you are saying is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Being good at interpersonal communication is definitely linked with educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and at the end of the day, job prospects. This is without doubt a good place to further your exploration*.

But research equally suggests that the need for the development of communication skills is of more importance today than it has ever been before. A range of factors have been blamed; such as too much time in front of the TV and computer; the decline of talk within the busy modern family; a 21st century media culture centred on the sound-bite; and the shortage of positive role models in society. The BT Better World Campaign's website is a good opportunity to carry out your investigation of the term communication skills for families.

The younger generation will find games that are designed to explain the principles of good communication in ways that are both entertaining and educational.
