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!

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

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,
Dinalynn

Hello Parents!
The R sound is one of the most common reasons a child comes to speech therapy in the schools. Speech Pathologists have lots of ways to help, and still some kids continue to struggle. However, there are somethings you can do at home to increase the likelihood your kiddo won’t struggle with R.
So - if you have every wondered what you can do to help your child at home with R this episode is for you! Today, I give you strategies that help for older kids with sound errors as well as the toddler that hasn’t been expected to say the R sound yet. So come along for some well-rounded advice in sound development.
The strategies in this episode are classified as "Auditory Bombardment," which means, these are ways to bombard your child's brain and ears with the correct pronunciation of R. These strategies work at the speed of home-life and can be integrated easily into what you are already doing!
All the best to you!!
Sincerely,
Dinalynn Rosenbush
