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~
How language is learned is really AMAZING and really FUN to watch as they begin to say words clumsily, and then later with more precision. We cheer we celebrate as “Cute” words “almost words” become clearer.  Then it seems in a blink, the kids seem to know lots of words AND they string those words into sentences and tell us stories! 
If you are curious how that happens, or you want to help your child express their thoughts feelings and ideas better - join today to learn 3 strategies to do just that! 
 
Always Cheering you on,
Dinalynn

Hey Parents~
Have you ever wondered how language is learned?  Have you wondered how we actually teach language and how the brain works? In today’s episode we are going to talk about language learning through the lens of a book and a One-year-old. It’s still pertinent to you if you are older, because the language learning process happens basically the same.  Just at a more complex level. Sit back and relax. Imagine with me as you enjoy today’s learning. 
With gratitude and hope,
Dinalynn

Dear Parents~
Does your child have an IEP – an individual education Plan, but you don’t know what that really means?  Maybe your child receives speech therapy because they do not speak or understand well.   There are ways to become comfortable with the vast amount of information.  There are ways to stand up for yourself and your child, and … spoiler… your school wants your participation!  And we all want your child to grow, learn and communicate well.
Today's episode will give YOU strategies to communicate better for yourself and your child and give you a way to build a connection that will make you more comfortable in those difficult meetings.  
Be encouraged, parents! 
 
Always Cheering you on,
Dinalynn

Hello Parents~
PLAY is critical part of happiness for all ages, we see play just days after birth, and we continue to use the term “play” for athletes, musicians, actors, lovers, creatives, thought-leaders and problem solvers.  Even birds, fish and animals play! Clearly it is not just for children. 
In this episode, we will take time to dismantle the idea that play means trucks and dolls in order to see it more fully.  When we learn to think with the definition I give you today, you will be begin to understand how your child's brain works better.  Come along for a thought provoking, curious way to view play!  
Always Cheering you on,
Dinalynn

Hey Parents~
What if.. you could get behind the eyes of your child and communicate with them in a way their brains understand?! 
The Language of Play is born out of this idea!  However, it is not just an idea.  It is a real thing! 
Come listen in to this First-Ever Episode of The Language of Play with me, Dinalynn Rosenbush, Mom, Grandma, and Speech Language Pathologist of over 25  years. Over my career, I noticed how I applied the brain knowledge and learning strategies from my continuing education, which improved my parenting. For many years, I thought ALL parents would have this benefit of this knowledge!  This podcast is a way to share with you these connection and communication strategies.
Are you ready to connect differently and create a happier, more productive home?  Come listen and enjoy. Then, please Share, Rate, and Review.  And of course, listen to further episodes!  
Specific help for your family is available through personal parent coaching. I will also love to speak and teach at your event. 
Always Cheering You On,
Dinalynn
