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 Friends~ 
When is the temper tantrum not a temper tantrum? 
Well, sometimes it’s the way our children learned to communicate! We didn’t mean to teach them to scream and shout in order to get the attention they want, but it had worked… and they’re young… 
And now we want to teach them a new way to communicate.  That is WITH WORDS!  
If this is familiar, You will learn a lot and get ideas from today’s episode!  Get a pencil and paper to take notes because this is a strategy-filled episode!
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~ 
We live in a world where more and more is expected of us, we are bombarded with information everyday.  Sharon Fillmore, the “Mary Poppins of Family Wellness,”  says that families can learn to see through it all, and recognize the truth from the fluff.  
But HOW?  How do we get the squirrels out of our mind and stay focused?  How do we get our kids to stay focused?   
 Sharon gives fabulous ideas. As we raise creative independent thinkers, asking ourselves, “What is the best thing to say, in this moment, at this time?” will help them continue talking without shutting them down.   What they think might surprise you!  Be sure to listen to the end as Sharon shares a story that really shows how a 10 year old brain works!

Hey Friends~ 
Recently, I was in a Facebook  conversation where a parent asked if they should allow their speech delayed child to play sports.  This parent had many fears around what might go wrong.  I understand this.  But we cannot live in the “What if… ?”
 
When fears are set aside, there are so many positives to see!  I believe the positives outweigh the risks!  Here are 10 reasons for you to put your child into sports - even when there is a speech or language delay, of whatever sort!

Hey Friends~ 
All of us parents have experienced the fall out after attending some sort of party or event  - and afterwards our children have a hard time settling in at home. there’s an adjustment. AND THERE IS WHINING! 
Learning to read between the lines of your child’s behavior, such as looking at WHAT they’re playing, and HOW they’re playing, can give you an indication into what They’re thinking about or feeling in their bodies. Learning to see it is key. 
Then you can talk about what they are thinking about, you can steer them.
Today you will  have a strategy for helping your child regulate and communicate how they feel - which will, with practice, lessen whining! 
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~ 
It’s officially summer break for many kids as schools have let out  
Even when you are happy and excited about the change of schedule, there’s ALWAYS  a transition time into summer. Whether you are someone that gets to stay home with your children or if you are someone that brings your children to daycare full-time while you continue to work full-time, or you’re in the middle. 
There’s always a transition.
Today’s episode is about the summer slump - which might arrive in an hour or a week. It may be at periods of time throughout the day.  Let’s recognize it, give it a name, and show our kids a good way to handle it. 
 
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~ 
When you get triggered by your child's behavior, there is a reason!   When we respond internally to our children’s behavior, it may be deeper, within YOU . . .  It MIGHT NOT actually  the child’s behavior.    
This triggering can be a barrier to being one’s best self!  Today, we learn to develop that inner sense that allows you to see your child separately from your internal heightened response.   Guest Gayle Weill will share her expertise to show you how to separate those 2 things!  This is a must-listen episode!!  
Always cheering you on!
