NANNY DADDY

Do you tune in to Mediacorp Channel 8, 9pm local drama serial on weekdays?

The title of the show is NANNY DADDY. This drama portrays Adrian Pang as a rich, systematic guy who is rude and unpleasant to live with. He is also very concern about cleanliness. However, his life changed dramatically when his niece, Nicole appeared in his life.

I have been watching this drama for weeks and I failed to notice of the types of nonverbal communication until I was taught.

‘Nanny Daddy’ has made use of the various types of nonverbal communication.

Kinesics: Alan (Adrian Pang) showed his disguise using facial expression when he bathed baby Nicole as he did not have any experience at taking care of an infant. This was evident in the first few episodes of the drama. Another example is he dressed up and walked like a woman and when he learned that baby is more affiliated with her mother.

Paralinguistic: Alan quality of voice is different when he gradually falls in love with his neighbor, Ai Hua (Yvonne Lim).

Chronemics: Alan is obliged to follow his clients timing shows clearly of their status.
Artifacts: The way he organized his furniture in the living room as well as the kitchen speaks quite a lot of his behavior. He is a perfectionist and wants everything in the house to be in order. He obviously wants to tell his guests that they should not touch anything without his acknowledgement.

Oculesics: Ai Hua showed her anger by rolling her eyes when Alan was blasting his music. Alan widen his eyes when he saw that his kitchen was messed up by Ai Hua when she was preparing porridge of Nicole.

Did you identify the various non verbal communications when you’re watching ‘Nanny Daddy’?

I think that this is a comical drama which ends my day with a smile. You should watch it too.
