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!

ABOUT THE GUEST: ALY YOUNG
Aly's background in psychology and sociology led her to explore her passion for education and learning by teaching in various settings, ranging from private to public to charter schools. In every school, Aly noticed that there were always kids who struggled with the material, not because they weren’t smart or weren’t trying, but because the approach was wrong.
Aly knows struggling learners because she's been there, and she has seen how the system fails so many children who learn differently so she decided to do something about it. She is now the owner of Learning Lab where she supports struggling learners.

Hey Friends,
Today we will talk about our words, and how our kids understand and misunderstand, all the while, we expect they got it! English is full of words that have multiple meanings!
Come along for this conversation of how words change their meaning in different contexts and what your kids may be thinking. Today, you will get a little homework of NOTICING! I hope you will have a clear understanding of what you should notice about yourself and your child as you communicate.
I'm always cheering you on!

Hey Friends,
When we tell our kids to do things, we know what we expect they do. It is natural for us to think they understand the whole picture when they have demonstrated in the past, they can do it. However, their behavior tells you what your child does not yet FULLY understand. Their behavior - or lack thereof - is a window into what you still need to TEACH.
So, today's topic is the difference between TEACHING and TELLING! And a story of what happens when we TELL and wrongly think that we already taught!
I'm always cheering you on!

If this example doesn't meet the needs you have in your family, and you are ready for help, contact me to discuss how we can work together!

Today, we will go deeper into a strategy to learn what you child is thinking. This episode adds onto the learning in Episode 75. So if you did not hear that one, go back and listen.
Learning how to see what is in their drawing is really helpful to know what is behind their eyes, or.. what they think. When we understand their thoughts, you will parent differently. Let's see how they SHOW US what is going on in their brains!

Hey Friends, Do your kids wiggle and talk when they are in church, at a wedding, or other place the adults are trying to pay attention? How do you keep your kiddos quiet? Can you teach them to pay attention? Using electronic devices works to keep them quiet for a while, but doing that over time, doesn't teach them HOW to pay attention when they need to.
Today, you will hear a practical strategy to TEACH your child HOW to listen, and HOW to pay attention. It takes practice.
