I’m doing an assignment for college and i’m playing the role as a careworker and i have to explain what interpersonal skills are important to me as a careworker for me to establish a relationship with the family.
I think you could just start with a list of what interpersonal skills are, and go through them one by one.
Listening – hearing where the family really is, to see what their perception of the situation is (which can be very different from reality), to be able to better judge how to help them in a way they will accept.
Speaking – choosing your words, metaphors, arguments to best convince the family to take appropriate action
Body Language – don’t let your face show disapproval at a situtation, or the family will get immediately defensive and not take any of your guidance
etc etc
