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,
Do you ever wish that you could Re-Parent yourself? Well, you can it’s true.
Many people come to adulthood and have some baggage from their upbringing. In fact, most everybody has some kind of experience that they brought with them to adulthood. Those traumatic or even "normal" experiences are not helping them be the best parent they want to be, nor it is helping them be the best human they want to be. Something lingers... even after you try to forget, forgive, and know it is done.
I want you to know that: You can speak to that part of you that is still small, still young, and still growing. You can be the parent to yourself so you get what the little you needed.
Always Cheering you on!!

Hey Friends ~Have you ever wanted to be able to teach behavior and language in a way that is "Just Fun" ~ in a way that is easy and you can apply it to your every day life, too? We often remember what language and behavior we want to teach - when the behavior is been bad or when the language isn’t working.
Today we’re going to take out a common game, Chutes and Ladders. I’d like to walk you through a way to utilize that game to be able to teach your kiddos about behavior and practice language in joy and peace. Because really, we’re just playing a game, and the characters are the people in the game. It’s not about US in that moment, so your heart is calm and so is your child's. And, we know... a calm mind and brain can learn!
Always Cheering you on!!

Hello Parents,
This is the final episode in this series, "Helping Your Child Produce Speech Sounds." My hope for you has 3 parts:
1-that you feel more confident, have a bit more of a road map in knowing a few strategies for a few sounds.
2- that you see how learning these strategies help you manage the behaviors that are associated with your child's frustration when they cannot communicate well.
3- that you know how to work with your child's developing brain so you can target your teaching using their main operating system.
When you know how to do these things, you will more easily build skills of communicating, strengthen your connection, and have more enjoyment along the parenting journey.
For more specific help with your child in mind, contact me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com with your questions. You can also schedule a zoom call where we can meet in order to decide if working together is right for you! 15 minute Let's Meet! Session
Sincerely,
Dinalynn

Dear Parents,
Parenting is tough work! Did you know that teaching speech sounds can actually make you a better parent? It's true!! In speech sound teaching, you become more aware of the little nuances of learning and what your child needs. Your child becomes more aware of the small pieces needed and deepens trust to do the hard things.
Today, we talk about a game that is simple and you can do at home - whether your teaching speech sounds or math facts! This is a way to take the hard and let your child feel like it is easy.
Spoiler: The first part is foundational, so you know how and why this game works in your child's developing brain.
Let me know how it goes!
Sincerely,
Dinalynn

Hello Parents,
We are continuing our series, "Helping Your Child Produce Speech Sounds."
Today, I dive into the K and G sounds with really precise tips to make your work effective. Like so many parts of teaching. The exact skill you want to teach hinges on understanding other things. Today, you will learn what those other things are that cause K & G to sometimes be extra hard and what you can do to build confidence in both your child and you when you help them learn.
Happy Talking!
I hope you are encouraged and feel empowered!! You got this!
Always cheering you on,

Hey Friends,
The S sound is very common for kids to say wrong. Most commonly, they say "th" and we call it a lisp. Sometimes it is cute. Should we allow that "cute" sound to stay? Well, it is not so cute when the habit has formed and your child is grown!
Today, I will show you how to teach your young child, ages 3-6, how to say that sound in a way that is easy and effective, while y
our child is still in that early stage of sound learning.
Thank you for listening!
Always cheering you on,
