The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
*** A Top 2% Podcast! *** Getting Kids to Listen, Speech Therapy, IEP, Communication with Kids, Parent Mentor, Family Connection Are you tired of repeating yourself with your children or wonder why they don’t listen? Are you frustrated that your kids argue, whine or debate with you? Are you afraid you are doing the wrong thing to build communication, but you are not sure what to do? Hey parents, you don’t need to stay overwhelmed, exhausted, and triggered by the fuss. In this podcast, you will find solutions to … get kids to listen better with clear communication and boundaries that benefit kids. All while enhancing your relationships! My mission is to help puzzled, busy, worried parents read their child’s behavior as communication. When we understand what they are communicating, WE start to communicate differently! This is true of children with normal language development, children in dual language homes, and children with language delays. When Your Language allows for discovery, creativity, curiosity and exploration, connection is born. Connected kids are courageous and listen better. Connected kids have fewer meltdowns. Listen in to learn empowering strategies for teaching and listening! Hello, my name is Dinalynn Rosenbush, mom, grandma, Speech Language Pathologist of over 25 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech & language delays and navigated divorce and single parenting. Through training and my own struggles, I learned to use specific language in specific ways to build connection. I learned to Teach AND USE better communication. Our communication is not only our words, but it is the feeling our children have when we speak with them. Let’s create a home where exploration is welcomed, mistakes are stepping stones, and practice is expected. When kids believe you are on their team, eventually, they join your team! Because, what works for speech and language disabled children, simply works! I believe all parents should have access to these skills, not just specialists. It is my hope to give small nuggets of information in each episode to build your communication toolbox. So, if you are ready to build deep, meaningful connection AND create a more peaceful, productive and happy home. Listen in! Let’s interrupt the way you have been parenting. so that you CAN BECOME THE PARENT you WANT to be. I am glad you are here!

Words have power!
Sometimes our children say things TO US that are painful. It is difficult to know how to handle it!
We want to be gracious but we also want the harsh words to end! We want to pass on our values!
And how to handle it in a way that passes on values and isn’t “preachy?”
Wisdom comes from experience. Kids don’t have many experiences yet, Therefore, they do not have wisdom yet.

Are your kids very different from one another? Un huh! I thought so!!
Yet, you do your best to hold equal parenting for all of them. You do your best to treat them the same, to have the same rules with the same consequences pertaining to them all.
Yet, the response from one is compliance & understanding, the next is sadness and a crushed spirit, and another feels you are unfair!
