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 Parents!
If you are hosting for Easter, You know how difficult it is to plan, clean, cook, and prepare all the details for the celebration... even when you love doing it! It is a lot of time and effort. Your day is even trickier if you have little ones under foot, kids that "meant to help" or those that have excuses. Today's episode is to help you create a plan for your family to all participate, knowing what their job is and {hopefully} to joyfully do the work. I don't want all the load to fall one you, mama! Listen in for a plan to ignite your family. If this is the first time you use this method, don't give up! New ways of communicating can take a few practices before your kiddos get a TEAM idea. Keep it up, mama! I am cheering you on!
Sincerely,
Dinalynn

Hello Friends,
In PART 3 of this episode SERIES, "Why Won't the Kids Listen!?" We unpack 3 patterns of auditory processing struggles. This is when a child doesn't actually process what they hear, you can think of it as struggling to process language. Even if your child is good with language, the activities are still great BRAIN EXERCISES and are helpful for all ages while learning new information!
After listening to the 3 patterns, you will walk away with strategies, or "TOOLS," to use right away to help your child improve their processing skills. So grab your coffee and notebook with a pen! I hope you find the answers you are needing! Please know you may have completely different patterns! Or maybe you have never identified what your child's patterns are! Hopefully this episode will give you ideas for noticing what is going on for your kiddo.
As you listen to the ideas presented, some of you will find all you need to make the difference you wish for with your kiddos. That is SO GREAT!! However, some of you have bigger struggles and concerns with your children, and you will want to know more and get specific help! If this is you, Email me at and we can book a call to discuss ways you can work with me directly. NOTE: in MARCH 2023, I have a huge discount for the first 3 people that sign up to work together!
In joy,
Dinalynn

Hey Friends,
Have you ever wondered what good those sing-song, rhythmic rhymes are? Many parents struggle to use non-sense with their kids. And, anything not understood is non-sense, right?
Well, let's dig in and figure out why Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss are so popular. When we consider your child's brain, you will understand the value of these tools much better.
OFFER: For parents that want to increase their children's language and speech skills, I have a coaching package to offer for 75% off during March 2023, as I finish the development of this package! If this is of interest to you, contact me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com
I hope to hear from you!

Hello Listeners,
What do you do when the UNTHINKABLE OCCURS? How do you find the silver lining in the worst situations? Get some tissues as Angela Alexander shares her story of getting through grief after the death of 2 children and how God used language to aid in healing. Language has the power to hurt or heal. Your Language can destroy or build up the fabric of your family. Your WORDS are POWERFUL. Angela’s FAITH guided her and she shares how this happened in her story. You are going to be moved and you’ll be glad you listened!
Do you need encouragement to get through grief? How do you get past the death of a child? The healing of your broken heart is not an indication of not loving or missing your child. It is an indication of healing; that you are going to be alright and Self-forgiveness is a process. Please pass this information along to any parent you know that might benefit from this hope and healing.
CONTACT Angela through her website: http://MiraclesinAction.com to buy her book or talk with her.
Thank you Angela, for sharing your story.
