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
Are you tired of repeating yourself and wondering why your child still doesn’t listen?
Are you worried you might be missing something important when it comes to your child’s speech, language, or behavior?
Do arguments, whining, or meltdowns leave you feeling exhausted and unsure what to do next?
Hey parents—you don’t have to stay overwhelmed, worn down, or triggered by the daily fuss.
I’m Dinalynn Rosenbush, a mom, grandma, and Speech-Language Pathologist for over 30 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech and language challenges and navigated parenting struggles of my own. Through both training and lived experience, I learned how using specific language in intentional ways builds safety, trust, and growth. Communication isn’t just about words, it’s about how children feel when we speak to them.
I’m here to help you understand what your child is really communicating and respond in ways that build listening, speech, and connection. You’ll learn how to support communication—even with speech or language delays—set boundaries that truly help kids, and strengthen your relationship at the same time. My mission is to help busy, worried parents learn to read behavior as communication. When we understand what children are telling us, we begin to communicate differently.
These ideas work for typically developing children, kids in dual-language homes, and children with delays. When your language invites discovery, curiosity, and exploration, connection is born. Connected kids are more courageous. They listen better. They have fewer meltdowns.
In this podcast, you’ll find simple, empowering strategies you can use right away. My hope is to give you small, practical nuggets in each episode to build your communication toolbox—because what works for children with speech and language challenges, simply works! And all parents deserve access to these skills, not just the specialists.
If you’re ready to build deeper connection and create a more peaceful, confident home, listen in! Let’s interrupt old patterns—so you can become the parent you want to be, and your child knows is on their team.
I am glad you are here!

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
