The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
*** A Top 1.5% 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 afraid you are doing the wrong thing to help your kids communicate, but you are unsure what to do? Are you frustrated that your kids argue, whine or debate with you? 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, build strong communication - even in the presence of a speech delay, and have 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 typical development, children in dual language homes, and children with 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 30 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech & language delays and navigated single parenthood. Through training and my own struggles, I learned to use specific language in specific ways that build connection. 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!

Hey Friends~
You hear child centers and schools claim to have a “Language Rich Environment”. Do you have a language rich environment at home? You can! But what exactly does that mean? And how do you create that in a way that does NOT add another thing to your to do list?
The trick… is it is all about you, mom and dad. It is not actually the space or the environment. It is how YOU use the environment as a tool to expand their exposure to language. Today, I will tell you how its done! And you will see that YOU CAN! It just takes a shift in THE WAY you interact when you do your normal life.
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
I love children’s literature! It seems that ANYTHING you want to teach, you can find a book on that and use it as a springboard to help kids learn. This is especially true for social emotional learning. There is power in using stories! One mistake parents make is thinking they need to read a book as written! Today’s guest brings us into her journey into authorship and then shows us …. how to take the story beyond the book! If you wonder how to use a piece of literature to enhance learning, listen in! Terri Lilga shares some great ideas!

Hey Friends~
Families often how to help their child in the summer. Since there is no speech therapy with the school in the summer, some families are nervous and wonder what to do!
In this episode, we talk about foundational practices that help your children retain and learn speech sounds, particularly when they are not responding to your attempts to help them.
These strategies, when done well, especially with very young children can change the trajectory of how your child is growing in their speech sound development. Let’s teach you some of these foundational skills! Today, I cover 2 parts: peripheral skills and relational skills. When you get into the habit of BEING this way, your child will come along with remarkable progress
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
You know in your gut when things are not going right, even if you don’t have the words.
It’s even harder when you tell someone, but you are told that everything is fine… but you know SOMETHING IS UP.
This is the case for today’s guest. She knew that her son needed more help in his sound development, but was constantly told everything was fine.
Started seeking help when her son was 18 months old, asking doctors, friends, family members, and more and finally… when her son was 4, the school teacher called out the same concerns that mom knew all along. She was validated and felt such relief. Now, she was empowered, having a direction to go for help!
If this is you, you know this is so frustrating! Hang on for today’s story!
And, if this is you, then you need a person who knows how to ask the questions, who knows how to probe what is actually happening with your child. Talk to me! I can help. And, whether or not we are a fit to work together, you will leave the conversation with a clearer understanding of what is going on, how to talk about it, and a next step. This is one way I help parents.

Hey Friends~
Speech confidence is important for adults and kids. Whether you are speaking in public or saying your name in front of a class, we all want to speak with confidence and certainly that what we intend to say is what will come out.
Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills. Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do? Does my child stutter? Today’s guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective.
So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you!
Always cheering you on!

CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com
ABOUT THE GUEST: Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem.
His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book’s unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they’ve shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.

Hey Friends~
Sometimes it is helpful to hear success stories! We know that raising kids is a marathon not a sprint, and that means that success stories occur millions of times while raising our kids. Sometimes- when challenges are significant, we need to dig even deeper to find wins along the way.
Today’s guest tells her story of raising a child with Cerebral Palsy. She learned to celebrate along the way, listen to the therapists, and follow the lead of her heart as well as listen to her son. In doing so, they found success! Non -verbal to verbal to even speaking on a podcast!
Remember parents, life is a journey. Always remember to celebrate! The little wins are important - and they add up! I know you will feel so encouraged and enlightened by this conversation. Grab a cup of coffee and relax if you are able.
CORRECTION!! In the show I said Marsh earned a PhD. I was wrong. She earned a DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) Thank you, Marsh, for calling this mistake to my attention! And Readers, please join me in congratulating Marsh!
Always cheering you on!
