Getting Kids to Listen, Happy Home, Speech Therapy, Family Connection, Communication with Kids, Coaching Are you tired of repeating yourself with your children or wonder why they don’t listen? Are you frustrated that your kids argue, whine or debate with you? Are you afraid you are doing the wrong thing to manage behavior but you are not sure what to do? 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 with clear communication and 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 normal language development, children in dual language homes, and children with language delay. When your Language is Playful, you use words that allow for discovery, creativity, curiosity and exploration, which empowers and encourages. Connection is born. Connected kids are courageous and listen better. Connected kids have fewer meltdowns. Listen in to learn strategies for teaching and listening so that your child feels seen and heard and you build resiliency. Hello, my name is Dinalynn Rosenbush, mom, grandma, Speech Language Pathologist of over 25 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech & language delays and personally, navigated divorce and single parenting. Through training and my own struggles, I learned to use specific language in specific ways to build connection. I learned to teach AND USE better communication. 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. Your kids know you are on their team. And, eventually, they will 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’m glad you are here! Dinalynn CONTACT: hello@thelanguageofplay.com

    182 Tell Me The Truth Whether I Like It Or Not! 6 Questions To Guide The Process.

    Hey Friends~  Have you been cultured to be quiet?  Have you grown up NOT telling what is actually true for you?  Perhaps  you know that if you tell what you actually think  - It would not be okay.  You learned to say what is expected of you. This is “socialized behavior.”  … There is a time for that. Not Today!  If  you want your kids to tell you the truth, you need to be able to accept ALL KINDS of truth.   We cannot expect our kids to only speak the truth when we want to hear.  That is, if you want an authentic, honest relationship with them!     If we start this socialized pattern when they are small, we inadvertently teach them they cannot trust themselves, which leads to many unnecessary struggles.  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   RESOURCES from The Language Of Play: Sign up for my newsletter!

    180 Child Stuck On Past Tense Mistakes? How To Help In 4 Steps!

    Hey Friends~  Is your child using past tense mistakes like “I maked it,” instead of “I made it” ?    Do they use present tense instead of past:  “I cook,” when it was actually this morning when they helped with breakfast?   Past tense errors are a common indicator showing a child needs some help with language development. A common mistake parents make is thinking the child will simply figure it out.  While that can be true sometimes, waiting also allows them to create habits that later need to be undone and re-learned.   If you’d like to know how to help your child with using better language NOW, listen in for 4 simple steps to make the correction easy.  Why not help your child early, along the way, as they are developing!  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com RESOURCES from The Language Of Play: Sign up for my newsletter!

    179 Lois Letchford: Dyslexia? Put Away What Is Not Working And Make Learning Fun

    Hey Friends~  Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that interferes with learning, understanding, and using language. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA says DLD “is one of the most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 14 children in kindergarten.”  To add to the confusion, over the years, “DLD has also been called specific language impairment, language delay, or developmental dysphasia.”  Source:  https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Documents/health/voice/developmental-language-disorder.pdf Is your child struggling in school?  Not listening well?  &  Unable to communicate what they mean?   Today’s guest, Lois Letchford, shares her story that led to connecting the dots for her son’s understanding and learning in the presence of  Dyslexia, Developmental Language Disorder, and other developmental struggles.  She put away what was not working and used what her son was interested in.  She says, “Curiosity propagates in the brain in untold ways.”   She gives practical descriptions that you can use, whether you are a teacher or a parent, to help your children better.   This episode is a must listen for Parents, Educators, Child-care workers, Speech Pathologists,  and all those living or working with children!  Please share this episode with those who are!    Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com   ABOUT THE GUEST:   Lois Letchford’s dyslexia came to light when she faced teaching her son, Nicholas. Examining her reading failure caused her to adapt and change lessons. The results were dramatic. Lois qualified as a reading specialist using her non-traditional background, multi-continental experience, and passion for assisting other failing students. Lois received teaching degrees in Australia, Texas, and a master’s degree from SUNY, NY. Reversed: A Memoir is her first book. In this story, she details her dyslexia and the journey of her son’s dramatic failure in first grade.
