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!

Thursday Aug 29, 2024
Hey Friends~
Words have power!
Sometimes our children say things TO US that are painful. It is difficult to know how to handle it!
We want to be gracious but we also want the harsh words to end! We want to pass on our values!
And how to handle it in a way that passes on values and isn’t “preachy?”
Wisdom comes from experience. Kids don’t have many experiences yet, Therefore, they do not have wisdom yet.
Get ready to take notes during this deep and nourishing conversation with Marcus Higgs as he shares what he learned about communicating with kids and passing on values.
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~
Kids love talking about POOP! Adults often feel uncomfortable with this topic. We are not afraid to talk about poop on The Language of Play - because this is a very important health topic - and an inability to eliminate well impacts a child’s behavior, sleep, and their ability to learn.
Many kids struggle with constipation. Have you ever wondered what is healthy and normal?
Alicia explains what to look for in detail so that you can help your child more easily. Teach your kids to listen to their bodies and find the root cause. She talks about this awkward topic with ease and fun.
Always cheering you on!
