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 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.

Hey Parents! I feel you! You want to allow your child to just be a child. I know. But sometimes, the Wild, Goofy Play erupts and can be annoying because you want to go somewhere or do something, often non-sensical behavior happens at bedtime!
What causes our children to collapse into a laughing ball of uncontrolled non-sense? Do you allow it? After all, they are children! Or do you stop it? After all, it is bedtime! Children can be so confusing.
In this episode we talk about a few reasons for this behavior and a 3 things you can do to handle it. I hope this blesses you and your kiddos!!
Love,
Dinalynn

Welcome to this episode of The Language of Play!
Any of us that have more than one child, know children come very different from one another! We need to learn how to meet the different needs and learning styles in order to be effective with them. My dear friend, Lois, joined me today for a conversation about raising her children. Her boy's brains are cut from different molds, and they respond differently from each other to the same things. What started as confusing became a delight later on when she and her husband understood their kids learning styles better. Listen in for ideas how to meet your kids where they are at.
Playfully speaking,
Dinalynn
