Getting Kids to Listen | Speech Therapy | Child Communication | Parenting Strategies

Are you tired of repeating yourself, dealing with meltdowns, or wondering why your child still isn’t listening? Are you worried about speech delays, language development, behavior challenges, or communication struggles?

Welcome to The Language of Play podcast—where speech therapy meets real-life parenting.

I’m Dinalynn Rosenbush—mom, grandma, Speech-Language Pathologist, parent coach, and host of a top-ranked parenting podcast helping overwhelmed parents build calmer homes, stronger relationships, and better communication with their children.

This podcast helps parents understand behavior as communication so they can support listening, emotional regulation, speech, and connection in everyday life.

In each episode, you’ll learn practical, brain-based strategies to:
• Help kids listen without constant power struggles
• Support speech and language development naturally
• Reduce tantrums, whining, and communication frustration
• Build connection, emotional safety, and confidence
• Understand speech delays, language processing, and child behavior
• Use simple communication tools that work in everyday moments

These strategies support typically developing children, late talkers, dual-language learners, neurodivergent children, and kids with speech or language delays.

Each episode is filled with simple, playful tools you can start using right away—because communication growth happens best through connection, play, and everyday interaction.

If you’re longing for calmer parenting, deeper connection, more listening, and a home filled with confidence, curiosity, and communication, you’re in the right place.

So grab a cup of coffee, bring your real-life parenting questions, and come explore The Language of Play with me.

Kids & Family:Parenting 1440 episodic 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!

Today we are investing in you first, because the healthier you are, the healthier your parenting becomes. With that in mind, the first part of this episode focuses on you as a human being—as an adult. I think that's valuable. After all, before we're parents, we're people.

And that's what leads us to an important question: What if becoming a calmer, more regulated version of yourself is one of the greatest gifts you could give your child?

Coach Brandon Barber shares practical strategies for understanding your subconscious mind, calming your nervous system, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Together, we explore how these principles can strengthen the way you show up as a parent. You'll leave with practical tools like creating a "worry window," building daily resilience habits, and learning how your calm presence can help another person's nervous system settle, including your child's. Caring for yourself is one of the most meaningful ways you can care for your child.

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever noticed your child can sing every word of a favorite song but struggles to say those same words in conversation? Or maybe your child isn't talking yet, avoids back-and-forth interaction, has difficulty with rhythm or imitation, or simply learns differently than other children.

What if music could become a bridge?

In this episode, we explore how music creates a safe space for children to learn. Rhythm, repetition, melody, and predictable patterns slow language down, making it easier for the brain to process, remember, and use. Music also activates multiple areas of the brain, strengthening memory, movement, attention, and learning in ways that everyday conversation often cannot.

My guest knows this personally. She was largely nonverbal until she was four or five years old, and music became the place where language finally made sense. Today, she's an award-winning children's musician whose songs are intentionally designed to build language, communication, and connection for all children, especially those who learn differently.

If you've ever wondered whether music could help your child communicate, this conversation may open an entirely new way of thinking about learning.

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever been so tired you'd try just about anything to get your child to sleep? 

You're not alone!

My guest, pediatric sleep coach Allison Egidi, knows that feeling firsthand. She spent two years struggling with her own child's sleep before discovering there was an entire field of pediatric sleep support that most parents—and even most pediatricians—never hear about. 

You'll also hear how simple language shifts with our toddlers can encourage sleep cooperation and help children approach bedtime with greater confidence. 

Today we're talking about why sleep can feel so complicated, why there isn't one "right" way for every family, and what you can start doing tonight to help your child become a more confident sleeper.

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "Why isn't my child listening?" Or wondering why they can do something one day but seem completely unable the next?

Before we assume it's defiance, laziness, or a bad attitude, what if we asked a different question: What if communication is what's hard?

For the past three months, we've been exploring the many ways communication can get disrupted—both in understanding and in expressing. Today, I'm bringing the whole series together so you can see the big picture and walk away with practical ideas to help your child communicate with greater confidence and success.

Your child hears you say something... but did they actually get the message? 

Sometimes communication breaks down because children can't fully access language. It may be hearing loss, difficulty processing information, speech delays, or simply not yet having the words they need.

In today's episode in the series When Communication is Hard, we're exploring how access impacts communication and why one surprisingly powerful tool—sign language—can help many children, not just those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Join me and special guest Tracie as we talk about reducing frustration, building connection, and giving children more ways to communicate.

Always cheering you on!

Some kids can talk—but don’t in certain situations. Maybe they suddenly go silent at school, church, or around other people. In this episode of our When Communication Is Hard series, we’re talking about selective mutism and anxiety-based communication challenges. These children may have the words, know what they want to say, and still feel unable to access their voice in certain situations.

We’ll look at what may be happening beneath the silence, why pressure backfires and makes talking harder, and how safety, predictability, and connection gently support speech over time. So, If you’ve ever wondered whether your child is being shy, stubborn, or overwhelmed, this episode will help you see the struggle with fresh eyes—and respond with more understanding and hope.

Always cheering you on!

Most of us don’t remember what it felt like to learn language for the very first time as young children. We focus so much on letters, books, and what children see—but are we overtraining eyes while undertraining ears?

After experiencing a brain injury that forced her to relearn language from the beginning, today’s guest, Emily Cadiz, gained a life-changing understanding of what it truly feels like to struggle with communication and learning. As a music professional already working in special education, she turned to music during her recovery to help regain movement, speech, language, and reading — ultimately leading her into NIH research exploring music’s impact on children’s language and literacy development.

In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between music, the brain, communication, and learning. You’ll hear why music is such a natural pathway for language development and discover simple ways parents can use rhythm, movement, chanting, and song in everyday life to support children’s speech, language, and early literacy skills.

Many parents think reading begins with letters, flashcards, and sounding out words. But the foundation for reading actually begins much earlier—through listening, sound play, hearing sound patterns, understanding language, building vocabulary, and everyday conversation.

So whether you have a toddler and want to give them the strongest start possible… or you have an older child who struggles with reading and you’ve wondered, “What are we missing?” …this episode is going to shed light on important skills that might need to be fortified.

Today, I’m joined by speech language pathologist, Sarah James as she unpacks the building blocks that support reading success and explains what the research actually shows makes the biggest impacts on a child’s ability to learn to read.

You’ll begin to understand how speech and language skills are deeply connected to literacy, and why some struggles may actually begin long before a child ever sits down with a book.  

This conversation will likely cause you to see reading through a whole new lens.

Always cheering you on!

]]> Hey Friends~ 

Many parents think reading begins with letters, flashcards, and sounding out words. But the foundation for reading actually begins much earlier—through listening, sound play, hearing sound patterns, understanding language, building vocabulary, and everyday conversation.

So whether you have a toddler and want to give them the strongest start possible… or you have an older child who struggles with reading and you’ve wondered, “What are we missing?” …this episode is going to shed light on important skills that might need to be fortified.

Today, I’m joined by speech language pathologist, Sarah James as she unpacks the building blocks that support reading success and explains what the research actually shows makes the biggest impacts on a child’s ability to learn to read.

You’ll begin to understand how speech and language skills are deeply connected to literacy, and why some struggles may actually begin long before a child ever sits down with a book.  

This conversation will likely cause you to see reading through a whole new lens.

Always cheering you on!

When communication changes or a child suddenly loses words after a seizure, brain injury, pediatric stroke, or regression, it can leave families feeling scared, confused, and unsure what to do next. In this episode, we talk openly about what these communication changes can look like, what helps the brain heal, and how parents can support their child without adding pressure during already difficult moments. You’ll hear why safety, connection, play, and emotional regulation matter so much in helping children rebuild communication and confidence.

This episode is part of Better Speech, Language, and Hearing Month, which highlights the powerful role communication plays in connection, learning, behavior, and everyday life.

Summer parent support groups are now open for families wanting practical help supporting clearer speech and stronger communication naturally through everyday routines and play.

Always cheering you on!

“We never limit how she communicates—we grow with her in how she communicates.” ~Tamara Tuckson

In this episode, a mom and daughter share their journey with AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Many parents feel unsure or even afraid of AAC, but this conversation gently reveals how it can uncover who a child truly is when their body makes speech difficult. You’ll hear real-life communication—including McKenzie voice talking to us with her AAC device—as this family invites us into their world.  You will hear the growth, how low tech and high tech are both used - still.  

Enjoy this empowering story that is sure to open your mind—and your heart—to new possibilities. 

Always cheering you on!

We are in the middle of the series “When Communication is hard” to discuss a topic that is just as important and impacts our kids.  That is—the strength of the parent relationship itself. Today’s conversation with Jan shifts the focus to how, when parents grow in connection and calm, it creates a foundation that helps even the most challenging behaviors begin to settle.

What if the key to calmer kids isn’t another parenting technique, but strengthening your relationship as a couple? Jan and I explore how to choose what’s both nice and necessary in stressful moments so connection isn’t lost when tension rises, and why putting the parent relationship first actually helps children feel more secure. You’ll hear simple ways to walk yourself through overwhelming moments so your calm and logic can “hold” your emotions, allowing you to respond with clarity instead of frustration. And throughout it all, we come back to gratitude, growth, and celebration—because when you begin to shift, even in small ways, your child often follows.

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:   Married with kids can be a marriage wrecker. Jan knows it doesn’t have to be that way. Using her marriage and family knowledge and skills, she developed the pathway for new parents to stay together while parenting their kiddos and keeping their marriage relationship strong. She practiced this (with Chip) within their own marriage and family of 4 kids. The D of divorce was squashed. Their marriage and family turned into one filled with the A’s of appreciation and adoration. Being connected, communicating well and resolving confusion and conflicts is doable and even enjoyable while moving from Family Crazy to Family Calm with the DNA Way to Communicate.

She practiced this (with Chip) within their own marriage and family of 4 kids. The D of divorce was squashed. Their marriage and family turned into one filled with the A’s of appreciation and adoration. Being connected, communicating well and resolving confusion and conflicts is doable and even enjoyable while moving from Family Crazy to Family Calm with the DNA Way to Communicate.

If communication with your child feels confusing, exhausting, or like you’re missing something important, this episode is for you.

Today we’re talking about language  processing differences in  ASD  (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder)  along with processing differences associated with Auditory processing, Language processing, and Sensory processing. 

If listening feels hard, behavior gets in the way, or conversations fall apart quickly, this episode will help you see communication through a new lens.  We’ll connect regulation, attention, and language, and talk about how lowering pressure often opens the door to better communication.

This is about helping you see what’s really going on… so you can respond in ways that truly help your child.

Always cheering you on!

*SPECIAL EPISODE* Podcasthon Highlighted Charity:  Small Steps in Speech with Amanda Charney-Berardi.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or professional who’s ever worried about a child being misunderstood… if you’ve wondered whether listening, play, and connection really matter as much as we say they do… or if you believe that every child deserves support—not just the lucky ones—then this episode is for you.

Today’s conversation is part of Podcasthon, a worldwide charity event where thousands of podcasts come together during one week to release special episodes in support of causes that matter deeply to them. I chose to highlight Small Steps in Speech, a nonprofit that helps fund speech and language services for children—because helping kids find their voice is at the very heart of what I believe, and how I believe change actually happens.

ABOUT THE GUEST:   Amanda Charney-Berardi is the founder of the nonprofit organization Small Steps in Speech, which she established in 2009 after the tragic loss of her fiancé, SSG Marc Small, a United States Army Special Forces soldier. Marc believed deeply in her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist and often served as her “guinea pig” for lessons and practice evaluations. After receiving the heartbreaking news of Marc’s passing, Amanda founded the organization in his honor.

 

ABOUT THE NON-PROFIT:  Small Steps in Speech has granted more than $2 million to children across all 50 states, continuing Marc’s legacy. The organization provides children and their families the gift of improved communication through support such as speech therapy, AAC devices, parent–child PROMPT and apraxia therapy, hippotherapy, and other services that help children develop their voices.

Is your child learning how to read? Are you a bit puzzled knowing HOW to help them read?  

If that is you you will love today’s episode as we talk with a reading specialist on the very beginning of reading!  You will learn how to get the ball rolling and how to practice in your daily life in a way that is supportive and not overloading.

Always cheering you on!

If that is you you will love today’s episode as we talk with a reading specialist on the very beginning of reading!  You will learn how to get the ball rolling and how to practice in your daily life in a way that is supportive and not overloading.

Always cheering you on!

If your child’s speech is hard to understand, uses unusual patterns, or sounds younger than their age, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re looking at speech sound disorders, phonological delays, and articulation challenges. I’ll help you sort out what’s developmental, what might need support, and how everyday play can support clearer speech—without correcting every word.

Always cheering you on!

This episode is part 2 of the series “When Communication is Hard.”   

Today we’re talking about childhood apraxia of speech and other motor speech disorders—what they are, and why speech can be so effort-filled for some kids. If your child knows what they want to say but can’t consistently get the words out, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. 

We’ll also talk about why “just practice” often backfires and what kinds of support actually help at home.

I am glad you are here, your child will be, too! 

Always cheering you on!

If you’ve ever wondered why communication feels hard for your child—and confusing for you—this series is for you. In this opening conversation, I’m laying the groundwork for the entire series titled, “When Communication Is Hard”.  We’ll talk about the many reasons communication can break down PLUS  strategies that will help you identify what is happening and something to try!  This podcast is to help those who want to know more and do what is EFFECTIVE - not just do more.  

Welcome to this series  titled, “When Communication Is Hard.” My goals are simple: to help you feel oriented, not blamed,  to get a bigger picture so you feel less alone, and of course, to feel confident with strategies that work!

Always cheering you on!

This week is Children’s Authors and Illustrators Week! And on TLOP,  we’re celebrating an imaginative storyteller who helps kids grow brave, curious, and confident. So it felt like the perfect time to discuss: what shapes an author who writes stories that help children feel brave and confident?

In this episode, I talk with children’s author Rella B. about imagination, courage, and the heart behind stories that invite kids to embrace who they are. It’s a conversation about wonder, creativity, and why storytelling matters at every age.

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever thought, “I understand my child just fine… so maybe their speech isn’t really a problem” ? Or wondered, “Maybe they’ll just grow out of their listening struggles as they grow,”  but the waiting is really hard! 

You’re not alone. And you’re not wrong for wondering!

Some of the most common beliefs—ones that make complete sense to caring parents—can quietly delay the support kids need for speech, listening, and learning. In this episode, we’re busting a few of those myths.  Not with judgment. Just  clear, compassionate, and practical insight you can use right away.

If you’ve ever wondered whether something really matters for your toddler, preschooler, or young elementary-age child, and asked yourself, “Is this just a phase they’ll grow out of?”  Then, this episode is for you.

Always cheering you on!

Today’s conversation is unusual for this podcast, but an important one. Over half of marriages end in divorce, and about 30% of those become high-conflict - deeply impacting children.

This week, I’m joined by Lisa Johnson, a high-conflict divorce coach, to unpack the often-misunderstood topic of coercive control. We talk about what it is, the red flags within relationships, how it shows up during divorce and custody battles.

We also explore Jennifers' Law. We discuss how it recognizes the many non-physical forms of abuse. Lisa shares how children are victims, used as weapons in adult conflict, along with ways parents can begin rebuilding secure bonds after trauma.

⚠️ Listener Advisory: This episode covers sensitive material and is intended for a mature audience. Parents should use discretion with younger listeners. 

I still hope you TUNE IN!  Because understanding coercive control could make a life-changing difference for you or someone you love.

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:   Lisa Johnson is the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself through scores of court appearances. Her case, published in the Connecticut Law Journal, is being used as legal precedent. Her live testimony helped pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut, the third state in America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive control.” She and her partner, Chris coach people in high-conflict relationships, divorce, custody battles, and co-parenting hell so they have the chance of the best outcome in family court and beyond. They also offer a weekly Legal Abuse Support Group for those dealing with narcissistic opponents in legal matters. Their book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances'' was released in March 2023. Their first course, “How to Communicate with Your Ex Without Destroying Your Case or Losing Your Mind” is out now!

Her live testimony helped pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut, the third state in America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive control.” She and her partner, Chris coach people in high-conflict relationships, divorce, custody battles, and co-parenting hell so they have the chance of the best outcome in family court and beyond. They also offer a weekly Legal Abuse Support Group for those dealing with narcissistic opponents in legal matters. Their book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances'' was released in March 2023. Their first course, “How to Communicate with Your Ex Without Destroying Your Case or Losing Your Mind” is out now!

What’s really happening when kids struggle in school?  

“Trying harder” just doesn’t work!  Many kids benefit from a multi-sensory approach to learn reading.  It works because this actually matches how the young  brain works. 

If your child is bright but frustrated, resistant, or falling behind despite everyone’s best efforts, this episode with Dr. Emily Levy, will help you see those struggles through a new lens.  You will come away with clarity, compassion, and hope that you can share with other parents and educators of young readers.  

Always cheering you on!

The kitchen isn’t just about food. It’s about connection. 

Some of the most meaningful conversations happen while hands are busy - pulling grapes off stems, chopping, stirring. That’s often when kids open up about friendships, worries, or their day. The kitchen becomes the heart of the home.  

In this episode,  Misa,  helps families navigate the kitchen in a way that builds skills and relationships, especially when picky eating is part of the story!  We talk about how to move beyond power struggles, how to invite kids into the kitchen without pressure, and how to grow communication, confidence, and nutrition together.

And even if picky eating isn’t your main concern, this conversation will help you see how the kitchen can become a place of connection for every member of your family.

Always cheering you on!

Are you a soothing presence for your kids?  According to today’s guest, a soothing presence is someone who is okay when you are not okay.   Usually these are specific people. You can probably know who your person  is.  Who will be okay when you are not?  

As parents we want to be a soothing presence for our children.  Fortunately, it is simply a skill to learn.  So, if you did not have that from your parents growing up, you can learn it now!  

Our natural instincts are to want to make our kids feel better.  When you learn to be a soothing presence, you allow your child to experience and express what is happening without you being triggered by it.  Today’s guest beautifully explains how this happens in plain language.  

Always cheering you on!

The holidays can be exciting, but for many kids they are overwhelming. Travel, loud gatherings, new routines, and unfamiliar people can push children into meltdown mode, especially when language shuts down under stress. In this episode, we talk about how to use simple toys to prepare kids for upcoming changes, help them calm during holiday chaos, and create a sense of safety when words don’t work. If your child struggles with transitions or language delays, or is very young, this episode will help you understand why play communicates when language doesn’t, and how to use toys to bring calm, connection, and confidence during the holidays.

Always cheering you on!

 If you’ve been leaning on screens to help your little one talk, you’re not alone. It often feels like the easiest option — and with all the advertising, it can even seem like the smartest choice when you’re worried.   But real language grows through real play.  

With Christmas coming up, I’m sharing ten toys and games that you can suggest to gift-giving friends and family - so you get gifts that provide powerful, communication-building opportunities. These ideas are fun, practical, and designed to work with how your child’s brain naturally learns. Your little one is wired for human connection. Speech and language grow best through back-and-forth interaction with you.  

Those screens that promise to teach your child? They can’t hold a candle to the power of parent–child engagement. If you want to help your toddler say more, understand more, and connect more, this is a beautiful place to start.

And after listening, you’ll understand why your everyday interactions are more powerful than any app — which is incredibly empowering for you as a parent.

Always cheering you on!

When your children start telling you stories, have you ever wondered how to keep that creativity going?  How about when what they tell is outlandish, imaginative, and there is no logic at all, have you been concerned you should stop it?  It’s easy to shut them down in our fast-paced analytical, task-oriented mind.  

 How do you engage your children in a way that expands their ideas and expression when you can’t really relate to WHAT they are saying but you want to relate to THEM!   

Today’s guest does a fabulous job to demonstrate HOW she uses story creation with kids.  She exemplifies how to be curious and validate your child’s creativity, even when your kids are a bit too silly for your liking.  She gives us a format, an example, and a description, which gives you intention for letting your interaction build your child’s language, confidence, and connection.

If you have a child with big ideas or struggles with confidence or language, this episode is for you! 

Always cheering you on!

 What if mouth breathing isn’t just a habit… but a symptom? In today’s episode, I’m joined by a guest who revealed something I hadn’t fully understood in all my years in this field: crooked teeth, small jaws, restless behavior, trouble with focus, even lingering speech sound errors can ALL be connected to how well a child is BREATHING.

You’ll hear how an under-developed airway affects far more than speech and behavior. When a child is mouth breathing, they don’t get  the deep, restorative sleep their growing brain desperately needs. And deep sleep and proper oxygenation, everything from attention to learning can suffer.

And make sure you listen through to the end, as we have something special for you!! Podcast listeners get access to a free online airway evaluation - a simple way to find out whether breathing might be part of your child’s (or your own) challenges.  Also, if you are from MN, WI, or IA, you have an exclusive discount for in-person clinic visits. So, if mouth breathing, snoring, focus struggles, or stubborn speech sound issues feel familiar… this might be the insight you’ve been missing.

If you or your child snores, mouth breathes, struggles with focus, wrestles with behavior, or has speech sound challenges, this might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for. 

There is help for adults, so the listener discounts and freebies work for YOU, too!  This episode might change everything for you and your child!! 

Always cheering you on!

Recently, I got a written message from a listener who wrote, ‘My husband is Serbian and speaks Serbian to our son. I speak English, but I don’t speak Serbian well. Our little one is just 17 months and very vocal — but in my expat group, parents worry their bilingual kids might be confused. How young is too young for two languages? And how old is too old for 2 languages?” 

It’s such a good question — and one that so many families wonder about. In this episode, we’ll look at how babies process two languages, the benefits, milestones, red flags, and what you can do - all geared for the multilingual home.

Today is the next in the SERIES: Speech & Language Delays, and  we’re diving into therapy and intervention options for parents - and looking closely at two main groups of kids. 1) The first group includes children who have been tested and qualify for speech therapy, but the help available just doesn’t feel like enough. and

2) The second group is often the largest - and sometimes the most frustrated. Maybe your child was tested but didn’t score low enough to qualify, or maybe you’ve never pursued testing, yet you know they’re struggling. You might be homeschooling, caring for a very young child, or waiting because others have said, “Let’s just give it time,” yet, deep down, you feel something more is needed. 

If that resonates with you, you’re not alone, this episode is here to guide and encourage you.

For parents in both groups, we’ll explore 6 practical, parent-led approaches to help your child make real progress, whether you’re working alongside a therapist or leading the learning yourself. I’m so glad you’re here!

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever felt like your child is struggling, but not “enough” to qualify for help? They’re bright, they’re trying, but school still feels like a battle…

What if the problem isn’t your child… but the system?  For decades, schools have measured every kid against one “ideal learner” or “the norm.”  

But what happens when your child’s amazing brain learns differently?

When your child struggles in school, the first instinct is often tutoring.  What if the issue isn’t the lesson - it’s the learning process itself? 

Today, we’re unpacking  what educational therapy is and how it can change that story.

So, if you've ever thought, “I know my child can do it, but something’s missing,” this conversation is for you!

Always cheering you on!

Welcome back to this SERIES: Speech & Language Delays.  In this series, I am answering some commonly asked questions and you, dear listeners, are encouraged to send your questions!  Remember if you wonder, hundreds of others wonder the same thing! 

This episode revolves around the question,  “My Child Did Not “Qualify” for Speech Therapy. What Does That Mean?” Special Education and qualification is complicated. Today, you will understand what is meant by “qualifying,” what the criteria is, and what you can do if your child does not get services even though they need help with speech or language skills.

“What caused this language delay?”   That’s a deeply important question, and one that parents ask often, sometimes with worry or guilt. The truth is, speech and language delays are common, and they have many possible causes, not just one.

 Most experts today agree that it’s rarely a single factor, but rather a combination of influences that shape how communication develops. Today we will unpack some causes and more importantly, how you can make a difference in the lives of those who need the gift of communication. 

Always cheering you on!

]]> Hey Friends~ 

“What caused this language delay?”   That’s a deeply important question, and one that parents ask often, sometimes with worry or guilt. The truth is, speech and language delays are common, and they have many possible causes, not just one.

 Most experts today agree that it’s rarely a single factor, but rather a combination of influences that shape how communication develops. Today we will unpack some causes and more importantly, how you can make a difference in the lives of those who need the gift of communication. 

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever wondered what it takes for a homeschooling family to thrive? Today we’re diving into  it—flexibility, intentionality, and the courage to learn differently.

Research shows homeschooling is growing across America, and more parents are discovering that when learning fits the child, confidence blooms.  

In this episode, we talk about the parent who feels not qualified, flexibility that brings freedom, blending academics into everyday life, and how learning together builds connection. We’ll also dig into the role of play—what it can look like in a homeschool setting, and how play helps you keep joy right at the center of it all - whether or not you are homeschooling. 

Listen in to find insight and encouragement for anyone helping a child to learn. 

Always cheering you on!

If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, you’re not alone. Parents all over the world type those exact words into Google every single day — because watching your child struggle to talk, or not knowing if they’re on track, can feel overwhelming.

This is the FIRST EPISODE IN THIS SERIES as we talk about speech and language delays in young children, focusing on ages 1-5.  

In this episode, you will  understand the difference between speech and language,  what milestones matter, which red flags you shouldn’t ignore, and what you can do at home right now to support your child - whether or not there is a delay!

You are your child’s best teacher!  This episode will help you maximize on that!

Always cheering you on!

Do your kids hate reading?  Wouldn’t you love it if they LOVED READING?   Or… better yet, what if you knew how to teach them… from the start…  to LOVE READING?   

In this episode, we talk about the foundations that give the confidence and skills needed to build strong reading early on.  This episode is targeted towards both parents of struggling readers and early readers.  You will have amazing insights into what the connection is between reading and speaking.  We will talk about the foundational threads that connect them both… which means…  being strong in these strategies, builds BOTH!  

If you know of a parent or teacher who may benefit from these research - based interventions, strategies, and insights, please share this show!  Also, I would be delighted  if you follow, share, subscribe and leave a review!

ABOUT THE GUEST:   

Former DC attorney, Daniela Feldhausen  realized that her true passion is teaching kids to read. As the founder of Kids Up Reading Tutors, she’s built a team of 20 specialists who help students all across the country overcome dyslexia, dysgraphia and other reading challenges.

Their approach is evidence-based and efficient.  Students typically get caught up to their classmates in months rather than years. This accelerated progress stems from rigorous application of current research into how students learn to read and spell, sometimes referred to as the "Science of Reading."

They’ve developed a structured literacy program that is then tailored to each student's specific needs, combining phonological awareness, Orton-Gillingham-based phonics and systematic spelling instruction. Their one-on-one virtual sessions create a judgment-free environment where struggling readers develop both skills and confidence—turning "I HATE Reading" into "I LOVE Reading!"

When we talk to our kids, we use words that represent whole concepts all the time.  We do it so spontaneously that it’s difficult to communicate without using such words.  When our kids don’t have a good repertoire of concept - type words, it makes it difficult for them to do as told, express themselves, or deliver a message, accurately.  

Today we discuss what concept words are, why they are important  AND what you can do to increase understanding at home!  This is  the fun part!  You don’t need flashcards. You don’t need apps. You already have everything you need to teach these words—just by playing, talking, and living life with your child.  I am going to call attention to what you already have and know… so that you can be intentional when you are teaching them. 

Always cheering you on!

BIG Feelings are so hard!  It’s confusing! And sometimes really disruptive. 

Give yourself grace parents, become curious.  

What if we could understand how our child felt by looking at the color that they chose to wear?  Wouldn’t that be amazing and helpful?!! Today’s guest decided to combine her child’s interests with colors to create a way to help him communicate better after an acquired language loss.  You will learn her story and how she helped her little one regain a way to communicate better again. 

Many times we as parents want to get our kids out of their icky feelings. The reality is that we want our children to walk through their feelings and to feel their feelings. This is an important part to learning self-regulation. We must allow our children to experience their feelings. 

Constance Lewis shares her story and the children’s book she wrote to support all children.

There are many different parenting styles, types, and programs, and the number can vary depending on how they're categorized. Broadly, these can be grouped into Core styles, Modern styles, Therapeutic approaches.  And cultural/philosophies.  

you're looking at LOTS of ideas and  many overlap as real-life is real!  And kids and parents need practice and discernment which develops over time. 

When you are faced with raising kids and don’t know what to do … the internet can be an information overload!  In this episode we look at the 7-7-7 Rule.  We will acknowledge what is good, and show you how to punch in ideas that just don’t have the right feel.

]]> Hey Friends~ 

There are many different parenting styles, types, and programs, and the number can vary depending on how they're categorized. Broadly, these can be grouped into Core styles, Modern styles, Therapeutic approaches.  And cultural/philosophies.  

you're looking at LOTS of ideas and  many overlap as real-life is real!  And kids and parents need practice and discernment which develops over time. 

When you are faced with raising kids and don’t know what to do … the internet can be an information overload!  In this episode we look at the 7-7-7 Rule.  We will acknowledge what is good, and show you how to punch in ideas that just don’t have the right feel.  

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever wanted to listen to the wisdom of someone who has been there?  Today’s guest is that person.  After raising her own kids, she & her family collectively decided to adopt kids and love them.  

With those adoptive kids, trauma therapy was needed.  She learned to connect with those kiddos on a deep level.  What she learned in trauma therapy not only helped her build connection with her adoptive kids, she learned it was useful in all her relationships. 

Thank you for joining us in this heartwarming and encouraging show!  

Always cheering you on!

When we talk about a lot of stuff with our kids - the stuff that isn’t the important stuff; the stuff that is inconsequential, we develop the habit of interaction.  When 90% of your interactions are wonderful, and then the hard conversations that do necessarily come, won’t be as big of a deal. The Key:  have LOTS of conversations..  Why?  Because the inconsequential conversations have created a pathway to communicate.  You have cut a bedrock so that you can talk about the important stuff, too.  

This is just one concept that you will  hear in this fantastic,  golden-ideas filled episode with author, Gina Prosch.  Other topics in this episode: How freedom happens when we don’t fear that failure.  

Give kids information in ways they can understand.

Helping children learn how to be gracious and forgiving.  

Activities that push you to push yourself.. is PLAY. 

 

Always cheering you on!

You hear child centers and schools claim to have a “Language Rich Environment”.  Do you have a language rich environment at home?  You can!  But what exactly does that mean?  And how do you create that in a way that does NOT add another thing to your to do list?  

The trick… is it is all about you, mom and dad.  It is not actually the space or the environment.  It is how YOU use the environment as a tool to expand their exposure to language.  Today, I will tell you how its done!  And you will see that YOU CAN!  It just takes a shift in THE WAY you interact when you do your normal life.  

Always cheering you on!

I love children’s literature!  It seems that ANYTHING you want to teach, you can find a book on that and use it as a springboard to help kids learn.  This is especially true for social emotional learning.  There is power in using stories!    One mistake parents make is thinking they need to read a book as written!  Today’s guest brings us into her journey into authorship and then shows us …. how to take the story beyond the book!  If you wonder how to use a piece of literature to enhance learning, listen in!  Terri Lilga shares  some great ideas!

Always cheering you on!

Families often how to help their child in the summer.  Since there is no speech therapy with the school in the summer, some families are nervous and wonder what to do! 

In this episode, we talk about foundational practices that help your children retain and learn speech sounds, particularly when they are not responding to your attempts to help them. 

These strategies, when done well, especially with very young children can change the trajectory of how your child is growing in their speech sound development.  Let’s teach you some of these foundational skills! Today, I cover 2 parts:  peripheral skills and relational skills.  When you get into the habit of BEING this way, your child will come along with remarkable progress

Always cheering you on!

You know in your gut when things are not going right, even if you don’t have the words. 

It’s even harder when you tell someone, but you are told that everything is fine… but you know SOMETHING IS UP.  

This is the case for today’s guest.  She knew that her son needed more help in his sound development, but was constantly told everything was fine.  

Started seeking help when her son was 18 months old, asking doctors, friends, family members, and more  and finally… when her son was 4, the school teacher called out the same concerns that mom knew all along.  She was validated and felt such relief. Now, she was empowered, having a direction to go for help! 

If this is you, you know this is so frustrating!  Hang on for today’s story!

And, if this is you, then you need a person who knows how to ask the questions, who knows how to probe what is actually happening with your child. Talk to me!  I can help.  And, whether or not we are a fit to work together, you will leave the conversation with a clearer understanding of what is going on,  how to talk about  it, and a next step. This is one way I help parents.

Speech confidence is important for adults and kids.   Whether you are speaking in public or saying your name in front of a class, we all want to speak with confidence and certainly that what we intend to say is what will come out. 

Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills.  Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do?  Does my child stutter?   Today’s guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective.  

So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter  or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you!   

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:   Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem.

His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book’s unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they’ve shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.

Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills.  Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do?  Does my child stutter?   Today’s guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective.  

So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter  or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you!   

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:   Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem.

His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book’s unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they’ve shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.

Sometimes it is helpful to hear success stories!  We know that raising kids is a marathon not a sprint, and that means that success stories occur millions of times while raising our kids.  Sometimes- when challenges are significant, we need to dig even deeper to find wins along the way.  

Today’s guest tells her story of raising a child with Cerebral Palsy.  She learned to celebrate along the way, listen to the therapists, and follow the lead of her heart as well as listen to her son.  In doing so, they found success!  Non -verbal to verbal to even speaking on a podcast!  

Remember parents, life is a journey.  Always remember to celebrate!  The little wins are important - and they add up!  I know you will feel so encouraged and enlightened by this conversation. Grab a cup of coffee and relax if you are able.  

CORRECTION!!  In the show I said Marsh earned a PhD.  I was wrong.  She earned a DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) Thank you, Marsh, for calling this mistake to my attention!  And Readers, please join me in congratulating Marsh!  

Always cheering you on!

So, whether you're a parent of a toddler or a talkative kindergartener with no signs of delay, this episode is packed with insight for curious parents longing to nurture strong, confident communication.

Today’s guest is a mother of a child who had a language delay at age 3, and then was diagnosed with autism later. She worked in special education as a special education advocate. And then she had her own child so now she has the dual role of being BOTH the parent and an educator in the special education system.

We talk about the role of language acquisition for her little one and how language delay was the FIRST indicator that something else was going on. 

Always cheering you on!

In today’s world, we are taught to seek answers within ourselves.  But if we stay there, we become self-absorbed or self-conceited and depressed.  We need to also see outside of ourselves, looking for ways to contribute, serve others, and be connected to others.  In having this balance, people become whole and happy.  This foundation begins in the earliest years. 

Today, Jill Garner shares how SECURITY is learned, at what ages, and with examples of how it happens and how this links to our kids RESPECTING us as parents, respecting themselves, and  others.

Today, Jill Garner shares how SECURITY is learned, at what ages, and with examples of how it happens and how this links to our kids RESPECTING us as parents, respecting themselves, and  others.   

Today’s episode is a power packed conversation with LOTS of concepts. Grab your pen and paper. You might want to take notes! 

Always cheering you on!

There are many forms of play.  And, play is different for us as we grow up!   What does play look like for you now?  Many adults wish for more time off from work, more time to rest and play.  However, many of us have the thinking pattern that work comes before play.  Perhaps you were taught that as a child.  I was.  

What if…  Your parenting could be PLAY for you - at the same time - as you parent well!  Is that possible?  I believe it is possible more we think.

I would love to hear what you think in response to these ideas!  

Always cheering you on!

We experience play with our children in a variety of ways. One of those ways is Free Play.  Free Play is completely imaginative and it is entirely directed by the child.

Another way we play is Structured Play is when we use play to help our children go in the direction we want them to go. That may be learning, movement, practice, or anything really.  In Structured Play, we have an INTENTION for our kids. That is why sometimes people call it Intentional Play.

Kids need both to develop well!  When we don’t provide enough play, our kids suffer.  Today’s Guest tears apart some of the issues that are happening and what we can do about it for our children.  

Get out your Pen & Paper, or whatever you use to take notes, because you will learn a lot in this episode!

Have you ever thought my child’s speech is “different” and you wonder if it’s normal or possibly delayed?   How do you develop your child through their issues when you aren’t sure if they are actually issues?  How do you push for what you think your child might need, when you aren’t sure?  

Today’s guest will share her journey of being brave to find out what was going on with her son and what she did in the presence of her school being busy and over-burdened.  Her learned wisdom and guidance will support you in your next choices so you can support your child with love.

Many of you have acknowledged how much of a struggle it is to get Speech Therapy services - either enough or at all.  Today, I will address what is going on in speech pathology,  how this impacts you, and what you can do to help your kids. 

According to the National Institute of Health, 40% of our children ages 3-10 are  struggling to develop good communication skills.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job opening projected for SLPs is 19% over the next decade.  The shortage of Speech Language Pathologists has been around for years and has no end in sight. 

What are your options when your child needs more help and You don’t know how?

Your kids whine … and after a while, you doubt your resolve.  

“Maybe I am being too harsh.”      “Maybe one more cookie doesn’t matter.”   “Maybe they aren’t tired enough to go to sleep.” 

Then, as time goes on,  you resent the situation.   You resent that you got yourself  in this situation AGAIN.   And,  in those moments, you even resent your child…   When these feelings happen, it’s easy to think we are bad parents.  

Why is this so hard?   

Today, we talk about  one strategy to get out of that cycle!

IF Behavior IS Communication, then WHAT are they communicating??!  

This is a common question parents ask!

Today we will dig into some common ways that kids communicate with us - IN WAYS THAT WE DON’T LIKE!

 When we learn how to interpret well, we can give words to our littles so that they have other ways to communicate.  When a tantrum works, it’s because we allowed it to work.  There is no reason for the child to change the method.  ... Unless of course, YOU SET UP A REASON TO CHANGE THAT METHOD!  (Hint! Hint!)

Always cheering you on!

It is Holiday time of the year!!  No matter where you are in the world, you are quite possibly celebrating SOMETHING during these shortest days of the year!  It’s often hard to keep up with school and normal daily life - without  also adding in big celebrations.  But that is just what goes on in December!  How do we Keep the joy? Keep it light?  Remember what you are doing and what you are celebrating?  

Today’s topic is how we can draw our kids into the experience.  Maybe your experience is being part of a Musical or Play or putting up decorations or making special food.   Sometimes our kids participate willingly and happily and other times they pout, whine, and worse.  

Always cheering you on!

It is Holiday time of the year!!  No matter where you are in the world, you are quite possibly celebrating SOMETHING during these shortest days of the year!  It’s often hard to keep up with school and normal daily life - without  also adding in big celebrations.  But that is just what goes on in December!  How do we Keep the joy? Keep it light?  Remember what you are doing and what you are celebrating?  

Today’s topic is how we can draw our kids into the experience.  Maybe your experience is being part of a Musical or Play or putting up decorations or making special food.   Sometimes our kids participate willingly and happily and other times they pout, whine, and worse.  

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever had a book that changes how you communicate with your child?  Maybe the book showed a new way to handle a problem  - and you think, I am going to be more like Mrs. Buttercup!  

Maybe that story helped you  learn how to explain something in a way that your child understands.  Maybe it is a concept, maybe a behavior.  Maybe the story even helped YOU understand the concept or behavior DIFFERENTLY.  Stories are powerful!!  Stories teach in ways that we cannot do when we speak directly.  

You will enjoy today’s author, Julia Cook, as she teaches you directly about today’s youth and the current thinking patterns and mindset that is so different from how you grew up.  She explains how to reach in and connect so that you understand how your internet -connected child is learning. 

Julia quotes her mentor in saying, “a story reaches a child’s mind in ways that you cannot teach in directions…. “  

 

Always cheering you on!

Holidays are a time that we create stories. Stories have the power to draw our families together and we can weave into those stories the lessons that we really want our kids to know!

Listening to stories is a fabulous way to TRAIN OUR IMAGINATION AND OUR LISTENING SKILLS at the same time!  Do you do any “Listen-Only” stories?  Human brains are developing differently now with so much  screen exposure.  

Today, we have a master storyteller here with us!  Bob Hastings shares how his creativity was sparked through storytelling with his  kids and grandkids.  Then, he realized the immense impact and influence the stories had! 

Don’t underestimate the power of storytelling and what YOU can do with it!!

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:    When Bob's children Andrew Wood and Erin Katherine were young, Bob made up "Woody and Katie Stories" based on their middle names. Fast forward a few decades and Drew's son Arlo asked "Bear King" (the name he calls Bob) to tell him a "wind story." That prompted Bob to create this podcast series, drawing on the arc of the adventure books he loved as a kid and continuing the tradition of naming characters loosely on children's names. Grandsons Arlo is "Loar" and Oren is "Roen." Grandnieces Aurora, Delaney and Allessandra are featured, too. They visit neighborhoods where family members live.

Before he retired from the TriMet transit agency, Bob oversaw the architectural design of the Tilikum Crossing Bridge of the People over the Willamette River. He also managed the agency's alternative energy projects. Today, Bob lives in a Portland high-rise "sky cave" condo tower by the river, bridge and Ross Island. He and his wife "Bear Queen" drive an all-electric car.

Are you wondering  why your child echoes you?  Do they not really answer the question, but actually repeat what you say,  back to you?  This pattern of communication is indicative of a Gestalt Language Processor.   This pattern is common among kiddos with autism. Kids without autism  may also use this pattern of language, though it is most common in the very early years. 

How do you manage this? 

  • Always respond 
  • Be a sleuth - figure out what that echo might represent
  • Embrace their attempts to communicate
  • Understand this is a script

Listen in for examples and ideas for how to respond, what to look for, understanding the scripts, and how to increase your child’s  interactive language in supportive ways.

Walking the road of parenting is hard.  It is filled with joy and struggles.  We are okay to feel the way we feel.  No matter what you feel about it.   Learning to let go of negative judgment and condemning thoughts about our feelings  is critical to be authentically yourself.  Parents are often  able to do this with their kids,  but continue to struggle to be so kind to themselves.   If this is you, you will LOVE today’s Episode with Susanna Peace Lovell, author of Your True Self is Enough.   

 Susanna’s daughter wrote in the forward of the book,  “Learn to understand your child rather than make them do what you think is normal.”  

When you learn from your child who they are, instead of trying to create them to be who we want them to be, we free ourselves to do the same for ourselves. 

You will be glad you tuned in to this encouraging and authentic episode.

Always cheering you on!

The question comes up often this time of year, “How do you explain Halloween & monsters to a toddler, especially a toddler struggling with fears?” 

Actually… Kids don’t wait for halloween to fear monsters!  The issue of fears is real at any time of the year.  But for lots of kids, it gets ramped up during Halloween time!  You cannot even go to the grocery store without seeing scary faces. 

Let’s unpack 4 ways you can help your little one get past fears. Listen to this Episode to understand the importance of what to do first and then the application of these strategies! 

 

FIRST:   REMEMBER: KIDS' IMAGINATIONS are BIG and WONDERFUL!  

  • We need to protect what they see
  • Hear what they are saying.  Validate it
  • Provide comfort

 

Then, Here are 4 Things to help:  

  1. Create a method to interact with the monster.
  2. Create a situation where monsters are not bad - and maybe even fun. 
  3. Dis-Empower the Monster.
  4. Pretend the feelings all year long

 

Always cheering you on!

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!

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!

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!

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.

172 Dealing With Big Feelings About Back To School. What Emotions Are Your Children Experiencing?

]]> 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!

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!

When our kiddos are out of control, it’s tempting to scream, “Stop it!!”

What if? … you could look at it differently and narrate what’s going on?

What would that look like?

Today will discuss the effect Narration has on language development as well as emotional regulation. When we narrate what is happening for our children, we give them a gift. It’s a powerful tool to help with behavior and give language to the experience. And when you use this kind of tool, it helps you step back from the experience and not be so triggered!

ABOUT THE GUEST:  Paul Zolman’s childhood experience was the opposite of love, and he learned & eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. His Book, “Role of Love: The Most Effective Way to Demonstrate Love Everyday,” and journal, “Role of Love Journal: Practicing Love Every Day”

Are your kids very different from one another?  Un huh!  I thought so!!  

Yet, you do your best to hold equal parenting for all of them.  You do your best to treat them the same, to have the same rules with the same consequences pertaining to them all.  

Yet, the response from one is compliance & understanding, the next is sadness and a crushed spirit, and another feels you are unfair!  

In addition to this confusion, the next time you correct them, they switch roles!  The compliant one gets angry, the angry one has a crushed spirit, and the one that was crushed last time thanks you with understanding and strength!  

Join in today to learn what is happening and help to navigate!

Today’s guest is Debbie Martin, she shares her experience of moving her family from the city to the countryside to give her two boys, aged seven and five, a better life. 

Debbie explains how living off the grid with limited Wi-Fi and screen time has made her children happier, more creative, and better behaved. She talks about the benefits of outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and building with Legos, and how these changes have helped with her kids' ADHD symptoms. 

Debbie's story shows the positive impact of less technology and more nature on family life.

Always cheering you on!

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!

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!

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!

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!!

Do you wonder how to get your little one to speak?  

A dad asked me about his 1 year old, who is not saying words.  After observing his interaction with his family through mini videos he shared, I was able to show him how to tweak what he was already doing really well.  That little tweak helped the dad focus on what his child was saying through behavior. 

 It was right in front of his eyes!  But because his eyes were not tr

ained to SEE the opportunity for language expansion, he missed it.  

He is like the many awesome fathers that are my clients. Once he knew, he jumped on board, knowing exactly how to make a difference for his child!  I know you will enjoy this story!

What is it that builds confidence in kids?  How do we inadvertently create doubt in our children?  Today’s episode opens the door for seeing this process in physical movement.  The concepts are still the same when we talk about emotional courage or courage to express themselves.  

Today, I will tell a true story that lays bare how our words can create an outcome - even if it is not what we intend!  Becoming aware is the first step to knowing exactly what you want to change.   Let's together build confident, courageous kids!   I am glad you are here!  

If you haven’t heard, I will be hosting a  Free Webinar  in just ONE week! This webinar is designed with you in mind -  if you wonder why doesn’t my child listen - and you have been receiving speech therapy OR you have just wondered about your child!  

Interestingly, the ability to listen and process has particular features that we can anticipate.  It’s not always disobedience - at least in the sense of deliberate defiance.

ABOUT THE GUEST:  

In 2003, Krys was living what many would call “a good life." She was in her 10th year of a career as a police officer, and as far as anyone was concerned, she was successful. Then a serious car crash woke her up to the reality that, while she had all the trappings of success, the success was empty – her life had no meaning, and she no longer knew who she was or what she wanted in life.  In that moment, she promised herself things would change, that she would do whatever it took to create a life for herself that had meaning and purpose. It took Krys several years of searching to discover the secret to creating the life she longed for and to create a life that is interesting, purpose driven, and fun. As an Empowerment Coach, Krys’ mission is to share what she has learned with successful women professionals and entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling stuck in life and uncertain as they look to the future, and who are ready to take action now to create a life they love.

In 2003, Krys was living what many would call “a good life." She was in her 10th year of a career as a police officer, and as far as anyone was concerned, she was successful. Then a serious car crash woke her up to the reality that, while she had all the trappings of success, the success was empty – her life had no meaning, and she no longer knew who she was or what she wanted in life.  In that moment, she promised herself things would change, that she would do whatever it took to create a life for herself that had meaning and purpose. It took Krys several years of searching to discover the secret to creating the life she longed for and to create a life that is interesting, purpose driven, and fun. As an Empowerment Coach, Krys’ mission is to share what she has learned with successful women professionals and entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling stuck in life and uncertain as they look to the future, and who are ready to take action now to create a life they love.

Ready to make this summer your family's best one yet?

STEP 4 of our Summer Success Strategies is here to tackle it head-on.

Today, we're talking all about planning – something that's absolutely crucial for a smooth-sailing summer. 

Following good brain-based strategies, we will use paper calendars!  It's a tangible way for kids to see, touch, and be able to refer on their own, instead of you needing to repeat yourself so often. 

Learn how to create a visual summer calendar that works for your family. And remember, if you have any questions along the way, I'm just an email away at hello@thelanguageofplay.com.

Have you ever wondered how to empower your child to overcome speech challenges and build unshakable confidence? In this episode I chat with the amazing Raja Viadya about his personal journey through fluency issues and stuttering. 

Raja shares his childhood story and the advice he wishes his parents had given him during challenging times? He opens up about the impact of supportive words and the assurance that kids dealing with speech issues are not alone.  He says, “Believe it And Become it.” 

As a dedicated parent himself, Raja discusses how he encourages his own children, including his son on the autism spectrum and his daughter overcoming confidence issues. Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we explore the keys to decoding your child's behavior, promoting clear communication, and cultivating strong relationships.

Your Feelings are a message from your body.  It’s the same for your kids.  

How do you attune to your child’s feelings - instead of telling them not to feel as they do?  

Do quickly tell your child how to behave?  (“Don’t worry.”  “Settle down.”  or “You don’t need to feel that way.”)  This kind of response backfires in relationships  

Or 

Do you reflect back to them how they are feeling?  This is not an easy skill.  However, it is a skill that is learnable!

To ensure a great summer experience, Your first step is to prepare for it!  How do you do that??

Step ONE is today!  Mental Preparation.  Knowing what YOU actually want. This is a short episode with a powerful punch!  Follow these steps and you will have a fabulous summer to remember! Grab a notebook and get ready to do a little thinking. 

Then join next Monday for a deeper dive into Step TWO!  

Next Episode is a guest, then we do Step 2 after that!

ABOUT THE GUEST:    

Jennifer is a single mom and entrepreneur who lives with Complex PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder from childhood trauma. Throughout her life, Jen has learned valuable coping skills and has made it her mission to help others to better understand their own emotions.

So moms and dads, have you ever considered yourself a not top performing parent?? We know that our lives can be spinning in circles faster than we can catch up sometimes. And we don't feel like we are top performers a lot of the time. And as we do, we often feel less than confident.

Today’s guest, Brett Bauman helps us see how we can apply effective, simple self-strategies to become the parent we want to be.  This allows us to further our connection and communication with our precious children.  This conversation dives deeply into the power of intention and growth, particularly in the context of parenting. How can we act with empathy, patience, and focus on love, healing, and inner peace in the midst of child chaos.  Join us for the science of breathwork to learn WHY it works!  

This is a must-listen episode. I know you will get so much out of it!

Always cheering you on!

How often do you spend quality time in the same room with your whole family? And really, how much of that time is actually spent in doing an activity together?  

Indeed, the demands of work, school, and the presence of technological distractions can often hinder the quality time spent with family. 

In this episode, Coach Ambereen provides insights into her mission to transform the world by strengthening family unity. She focuses on creating genuine relational bonds centered around acceptance, gratitude, and shared value. Ambereen offers practical advice on improving family communications, nurturing connections, and overcoming common miscommunications. 

Can we learn to foster better family connections through improved productivity, rather than busyness and distractions?  Can we cultivate shared values of gratitude and acceptance?  She shows us how to ground oneself,  practice mindfulness, manage energy, and teach children to meditate.

Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of understanding that life is by design, encouraging individuals to make wise choices, and stressing we all have control over our lives.

 

Always cheering you on!

Lastly, she emphasizes the importance of understanding that life is by design, encouraging individuals to make wise choices, and stressing we all have control over our lives.

 

Always cheering you on!

“What? What are you talking about?”  Their behavior doesn’t make logical sense, while their words do.

116 Is Your Child Anxious About Valentine’s Day? 3 Reasons Why & How To Help

 

Today’s topic is about being the best advocate you can for  your child!  

Today’s guest:  April Rehrig, took up the mission of empowering parents on how they can navigate every step of the way through their child’s Individualized Educational Program(IEP). This unknown and misunderstood process can be difficult and scary.

YOU, as the parent, are the most qualified advocate!  Sometimes we don’t realize it and need a little help to know that it is true and what to do with that knowledge. 

This is one of the episodes where you will want to take notes because there is a lot of terminology. Plus, you want notes to ensure you will remember what you need to be the best advocate for your child.

Valentines Day is associated with love, candy, flowers and romance.  For kids, it is associated with friends, games, and valentine cards with red candy!  Some of our children feel anxiety around Valentine's Day. Today, we will talk about some of those reasons for anxiety in our children and how we can handle it. 

Key points: 

Bad behavior? Remember: The child that acts the most unlovely needs love the most. 

Worthiness is the issue? Celebrate your child for who they are not for what they do.

114 Time IN or Time Out?  EXPERT: KAREN HALL helps us support our kids while not taking on their Big Feelings. 

 

Are you blown away by the personalities that came with your child?  Some personalities mesh easier with our personalities than others.  Today’s guest, Karen Hall, experienced the joy of being a mother, even as it challenged her to grow in her personal life. 

 

She learned important ways to help children regulate their own emotions and shares how we can handle tantrums so our children feel safe and understood.  

 

Some of the questions addressed today are:

What is Time-Out for really?   What is Time-In? 

How do I respond to their big yucky feelings & words?

What is the difference between validating the child and validating the tantrum? 

 

Listen in for wise advice in today’s episode!  You will walk away encouraged and have some ideas you can implement now, to build a relationship that lasts a lifetime. 

 

Get your LaCroix and a notebook. This is one of those episodes where you will want to take notes!  And if you can’t, be sure to bookmark and subscribe or follow the show so you can find it again!  

 

Always cheering you on!

Many children struggle with making a transition from something they love to do, to stopping it!

That is a hard transition for most of us.  If your child - or a child you spend time with, struggles to change activities (to transition) from one thing to the next, today’s episode is for you!!

We are going to talk about a strategy that is essentially 4 steps, plus celebrations, of course!  FOUR MAIN STEPS to getting your child to more willingly, more easily, accept a change of activity, a transition!

So welcome to today’s program!  You will be glad you are here! 

P.S. You may want a pen and sticky note to post these steps on the fridge!  

MAKING TRANSITIONS EASIER:  

1- Acknowledge & Agree with your child that what is happening presently is good, and they like it.  Ex:  “I know you love playing this game.  It’s fun! I am glad you are having a good time.”  

2- Inform them of the change.  Ex: “In 2 minutes, we  need to stop.”  Even better:  “In 2 min, it’s time to wash your hands for lunch.”

3- Let them continue for the time you told them. 

4-Tell when the time is up ( in a happy spirit).  Ex: It’s time! Wash your hands for lunch.” Even better:  “Good job playing! You get to return to this game later today!  Now, we get to have lunch. Wash your hands!  (obviously adjust to match the language ability of your child).

Next week:  Tools to help with transitions! 

Always cheering you on!

According to research a small amount of our communication is actually the words that we say.  Our tone, gestures, and our internal emotions communicated a vast amount to our children.  

Children pick up on our internal energy when we speak. If inside, you are full of self-criticism, while your words say, I love you , the kids can feel confusion. They get a mixed message.

!! And they react to the confusion !!

Today we’re going to talk about our mixed messages that create communication confusion, simply due to the energy you bring to the interaction. Then strategies to help both you and your child.  

Note:  If you like this this episode, you will LOVE Thursday's episode with Expert: Dewey Kraus giving us strategies on Self-Compassion in parenting.

Last time we talked about using the Christmas story as a way to enhance imagination.  Today we add to that story with practical tips where and how you build language during the role-play of a complex story.  

Children have great imaginations. Their imaginations aid them in social emotional development, cognitive development, physical development, and more! Sometimes that imaginary place seems silly like it doesn’t really have meaning and other times we really see them act out what it is that they’re learning.

This role-play activity can be done at all ages, so your family can do it together.  Later, you can use this strategy for role-playing other situations to help your child understand what to expect.  

Getting ready to have fun and copy what you heard!  

Always cheering you on!

A Very Merry & Happy Christmas to you!! 

Children have great imaginations. Their imaginations aid them in social emotional development, cognitive development, physical development, and more!

Sometimes that imaginary place seems silly like it doesn’t really have meaning and other times we really see them act out what it is that they’re learning.

Today will use the Christmas Story to teach you how to allow and let that imagination flow along with a story, where you are encouraging their imagination to build and grow. This is very important as we want our children to be able to cast a vision in their future life, set goals, and even comprehend stories they hear and stories they read!  

Join in for a "Let's Imagine" lesson that builds foundations, gives choice, and without even focusing on it, you are teaching language, building connection, and cognitive development!!  We focus on HOW to move through the story with them. 

Watch for next episode when I explain how the language development happens when we use imagination!

 

Always cheering you on!

Play it’s not just for children.  It is actually an integral part of our life being human! 

It's broadly know now that children MUST be able to play in order to be able to learn.  But, do you realize that YOU also learn when you play? 

Play enhances adult learning and helps us destress!  In this episode we talk about how play opens your mind, lowers your Holiday Stress, and helps you learn faster with more enjoyment.

Always cheering you on!

Did your very young child, a toddler perhaps, get labeled with ADHD?  Maybe it was a friend and maybe it was a doctor's diagnosis.  Today, we are talking about when a toddler gets diagnosed with ADHD and why YOU do not need to fret.  I know it is scary to get a label, but sometimes, we must follow our gut.  If your "mommy gut" doesn't agree, still don't fret.  Time will tell. 

Here's something to do and think in the meantime.   

Always cheering you on!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from The Language of Play! 

There are so many holiday stories available to read to our children!  They all have a different focus.  Some silly, some academic, some religious...  any focus you can think of! 

When My kids were small, I wanted a story that helped them understand gratitude in the presence of struggle.  I wanted a Christian book that showed God’s goodness.  I found “Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving.”  This book became the story my family read every Thanksgiving!  As they grew, our conversations grew! 

I decided to share it with you here, with permission from the author.  Maybe your kiddos will give you a little space to cook while listening.  Conceptually, older kids will enjoy it, and the little ones will also enjoy the sounds of a story read, even as they don't understand the history.

Happy Listening and Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you and your kids enjoy it!  To re-listen, you'll find the story about 7min, 15 seconds.

Always cheering you on!

With the Holidays approaching, we all have extra things to do!  How can we incorporate help from our little ones?  We can, if we can identify what they do independently, naturally, when they don't yet have many skills - Listen to this 2 year old example!

We also talk about how to identify when your child feels confident in a job and a strategy that shows your child exactly HOW YOU WANT a job done. 

Of course, sometimes our kids are playing a video game or otherwise buys. You need a way to interrupt and redirect them, - keeping the joy!  And finally, we discuss the strategic Celebration along the way!  Remember when it is good for you, it is also good for the kids.  We want the joy inside during the process. :)

Did you know that one way to increase the joy factor in a home is to learn to express gratitude?  When your child says, "Thank you, Mommy," or "Thank you, Daddy," your heart is encouraged!  You can find a new reserve of patience and source of joy!  So let's teach them to say it!!  Furthermore, when a child says "thank you" they begin to realize what others do for them and their joy grows!  And, I have even seen a temper tantrum stop in its tracks just having the child express thanks!  (Not often, but I have seen it!) 

Today, you will learn a simple, practical strategy for guiding your child into becoming grateful.  When you incorporate these 2 steps into your daily life, you will find fun and joy!  I am excited for you to do this!  

Always cheering you on!

Have you ever considered that IMPROV helps us to be better listeners?  How about that we parent better?  What if IMPROV  gives parents the space to think and interact differently with their kids? 

It's true. 

Improv improves listening skills for parents and kids!  This is a practical application to all communication. Improv isn’t just for laughter.  It’s not just for comedy.  Improve creates better listeners that are more present, more engaged, more joyful, and less stressed.

Today you will learn the technique, “Yes, and ” from our guest, Chris Trew. 

Improv is listening that drops everything but in engagement. You become a confident communicator who gets your child to listen - by your example.  Being good at Improv CREATES IN YOU, AS A PARENT, the skills you want to exemplify in your children. We learn playful ways to smooth out conflict in our homes. So many benefits!!  

 

CELEBRATION TIME...  The Language of Play is nearly at 10,000 downloads!!  Whoot!  Whoot!   

In celebration, Email "10,000" to hello@thelanguageofplay.com for a 10,000 cent discount! (That is $100!)  off the coaching program!

]]> Hey Friends,

Imaginary play can become tiresome when your dishes and other chores are calling you!  How much do you involve yourself in imaginary play?  What benefit is there in imaginary play?  Can YOU use imaginary play to achieve what you actually want?  ...which means, enter their world, and steer it, just a bit. 

Listen to part one today on imaginary play and learn what is going on, why it matters, and how to get involved - or not. 

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: LYNN GREENBERG

Lynn Greenberg is the happiest wife, mom, and grandma. A very retired attorney who loves to cook, exercise, and read, she has seen how positivity with feelings and differences can allow children to grow into happy, productive adults. During COVID-19, when many families were living together with an abundance of unscheduled free time, Lynn and her son Jonathan, who has dyslexia, began to work on the concepts and ideas for Robby. As ideas developed, they became increasingly invested in the character, his story, and the impact this endeavor could have on others.

We hear a lot about giving our children choices.  But how do you give them choices that empower YOU, too?  How do you stop feeling like the little one is in control?  The answer is what I call Empowered Choices.  

Join today for an introduction on how you change a power struggle or control situation into a WIN - WIN that preserves the relationship.  I hope today you leave with an idea how to change a common irritation into something that builds connection, respect, and understanding.  

Always cheering you on!

It is natural for us to think they understand the whole picture when they have demonstrated in the past, they can do it.  However, their behavior tells you what your child does not yet FULLY understand.  Their behavior - or lack thereof - is a window into what you still need to TEACH. 

So, today's topic is the difference between TEACHING and TELLING!  And a story of what happens when we TELL and wrongly think that we already taught!  

I'm always cheering you on!

I know that Back to School means that you are now doing morning routines!  How do you get those morning routines to become automatic for your kids?  Today's Episode will give you one really effective strategy!  Of course it means YOU need to do it at the start, but if you do it right, the routines will be done - the way you want them done - and if you set it up well, those routines can move into auto-pilot! 

Grab your pen and paper, and let's make a plan!  

If this example doesn't meet the needs you have in your family, and you are ready for help, contact me to discuss how we can work together!

Happy Labor Day to my United States listeners!  It's Back-to-School time.  Have you wondered how to create back to school routines that work?  I believe that when we understand HOW and WHAT our children think, we can use that knowledge to build a routine that works effectively!  It works more quickly.  Furthermore, you and your child will FEEL successful.  All this means... Home is happier. Yay!  

This episode can be a stand-alone listen, and if you want more details, listen to Episode 75 & 76 for back ground on how I discovered this method!

Today, we will go deeper into a strategy to learn what you child is thinking.  This episode adds onto the learning in Episode 75.  So if you did not hear that one, go back and listen.  

Learning how to see what is in their drawing is really helpful to know what is behind their eyes, or.. what they think. When we understand their thoughts, you will parent differently.  Let's see how they SHOW US what is going on in their brains!

So come along!   The way we talk to ourselves impacts how our children talk to themselves. The healthier we are, then healthier they will be in their bumps. As they see how we handle our bumps in a health-full way, they learn to handle their bumps!

When life doesn't go as you expect it to go, How do you talk to yourself?  What are those words you say to yourself about yourself?  Does it get worse when you are disappointed with yourself or when the situations do not go as you want it to go?  Sometimes this occurs with our children, certainly.  But sometimes... it is just US, with ourselves, by ourselves. 

So come along!   The way we talk to ourselves impacts how our children talk to themselves. The healthier we are, then healthier they will be in their bumps. As they see how we handle our bumps in a health-full way, they learn to handle their bumps!   

Always Cheering You On,

Do you ever wish that you could Re-Parent yourself?  Well, you can it’s true. 

Many people come to adulthood and have some baggage from their upbringing. In fact, most everybody has some kind of experience that they brought with them to adulthood. Those traumatic or even "normal" experiences are not helping them be the best parent they want to be, nor it is helping them be the best human they want to be. Something lingers... even after you try to forget, forgive, and know it is done.

I want you to know that: You can speak to that part of you that is still small, still young, and still growing.  You can be the parent to yourself so you get what the little you needed.

Always Cheering you on!!

This is the final episode in this series, "Helping Your Child Produce Speech Sounds."   My hope for you has 3 parts: 

1-that you feel more confident, have a bit more of a road map in knowing a few strategies for a few sounds.  

2- that you see how learning these strategies help you manage the behaviors that are associated with your child's frustration when they cannot communicate well.  

3- that you know how to work with your child's developing brain so you can target your teaching using their main operating system.  

When you know how to do these things, you will more easily build skills of communicating, strengthen your connection, and have more enjoyment along the parenting journey.  

For more specific help with your child in mind, contact me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com with your questions.   You can also schedule a zoom call where we can meet in order to decide if working together is right for you!  15 minute Let's Meet! Session

Sincerely, 

Dinalynn

Parenting is tough work!  Did you know that teaching speech sounds can actually make you a better parent?  It's true!!   In speech sound teaching, you become more aware of the little nuances of learning and what your child needs.  Your child becomes more aware of the small pieces needed and deepens trust to do the hard things.  

Today, we talk about a game that is simple and you can do at home - whether your teaching speech sounds or math facts!  This is a way to take the hard and let your child feel like it is easy.  

Spoiler:  The first part is foundational, so you know how and why this game works in your child's developing brain. 

Let me know how it goes!

We are continuing our series, "Helping Your Child Produce Speech Sounds." 

Today, I dive into the K and G sounds with really precise tips to make your work effective.  Like so many parts of teaching.  The exact skill you want to teach hinges on understanding other things.  Today, you will learn what those other things are that cause K & G to sometimes be extra hard and what you can do to build confidence in both your child and you when you help them learn.  

Happy Talking! 

I hope you are encouraged and feel empowered!!  You got this! 

Always cheering you on,

The S sound is very common for kids to say wrong.  Most commonly, they say "th" and we call it a lisp.  Sometimes it is cute.  Should we allow that "cute" sound to stay?  Well, it is not so cute when the habit has formed and your child is grown!

Today, I will show you how to teach your young child, ages 3-6, how to say that sound in a way that is easy and effective, while y

our child is still in that early stage of sound learning.  

Thank you for listening!

The R sound is one of the most common reasons a child comes to speech therapy in the schools.  Speech Pathologists have lots of ways to help, and still some kids continue to struggle.  However, there are somethings you can do at home to increase the likelihood your kiddo won’t struggle with R.  

So - if you have every wondered what you can do to help your child at home with R this episode is for you!  Today, I give you strategies that help for older kids with sound errors as well as the toddler that hasn’t been expected to say the R sound yet.  So come along for some well-rounded advice in sound development.

The strategies in this episode are classified as "Auditory Bombardment," which means, these are ways to bombard your child's brain and ears with the correct pronunciation of R.  These strategies work at the speed of home-life and can be integrated easily into what you are already doing!  

All the best to you!!

Today we celebrate 50 Episodes! 

And, we continue the conversation from last time.  Your child - No Doubt - does things that make NO SENSE to you!~  We are left scratching our heads in wonder or leaving you in a state of frustration!  We ask "Why did you do that!?" half meaning "stop it!" and half authentically inquiring.  Last time, we considered the power of the authentic, curious inquiry.  Today, we discuss the detrimental power of using that question as a statement of correction, blame, sarcasm, or shame.  Most of us experienced some of this as we grew up.  We will discuss the outcomes and how you can identify and make empowering choices for yourself and your family.  

Are we creating confusion when “Why did you do that?” is not actually a question?

The first part of this is.  Are You causing the confusion?  We usually think we speak clearly.  However, as adults, our tone and body language has lots of meaning embedded that causes what we say to not actually mean what we say.

Does it feel weird to tell your kids, "We are celebrating Mother's Day!" if you are only  talking about yourself?  We moms often feel like we can celebrate another mom, but ourselves, "well, we don't need to do that."  This isn't healthy thinking, but it is REAL!

This episode will explain how Celebrating YOU is really good for your kids.  And, I hope you feel loved and cared for along the way, even as we need to teach our children how to do it.  

This episode is extra supportive for the single mom.  I was her. I remember.  I love you, moms.  Happy Mother's Day.

How do you listen to what your child is NOT saying?  The tantrums give us something to listen to!  But that is NOT what WE want!  Is there a way to look at that tantrum or frustration and SEE what your child's body is saying?  

Good practice for this comes when you have BIG, positive adjustments in your household. Maybe it is a new baby. Maybe a big trip. Maybe you are moving homes.  Whatever the adventure, your child will experience it differently than you, and it might not be a fun welcome - - at first!  It just takes a little adjustment. Today, we discuss 4 strategies to help you help your kiddos adjust!  

Let's look at how we can read our littlest ones for clues to understand them better.

10. 3 Ways to Figure Out What Your Child is Saying When They are Hard to Understand

 

 

]]> Hey Friend,

When kids learn language in a dual-language environment, there are some unique challenges.  Today's guest shares some of her fun, funny, and rewarding experiences in having a complex family.  Cheyanne Cleyman lives with her husband in his home country of Belgium. In today's episode you will learn about how she built connection with a teenage step-daughter that spoke only Dutch while Cheyanne spoke only English. You will learn strategies she uses to build communication when there is dual-language confusion with her 3-year-old, her teen step-daughter, and her husband!  You will enjoy the first half of the conversation today and want to return next time for the conclusion! 

Get ready to laugh and see how you can apply these strategies in your home, because everybody needs help in communication!  I encourage to come to this episode thinking, "How does this apply to me?" You will find useful nuggets if you have language learning at any stage going on! 

Be sure to join next time to hear the conclusion of this fun conversation!  

Thank you for joining today!

Today, we are talking about the dreaded Tantrums and Meltdowns.  Did you know they are NOT the same thing?  When you identify what is actually going on for your kiddo, you respond differently.  No matter your child’s age, when we really understand what is happening, we can be more helpful. Join today to learn the difference between tantrums and meltdowns, how to know, and ways you can more effectively help your child communicate.    

Of course, there is always more conversation on topics like these. And, if your child is struggling to communicate, you likely have extra outbursts.  If you are struggling with tantrums or meltdowns and you want to discuss ways to improve those behaviors in your home, email me and we will schedule a conversation.

On Your Side,

We all have words we tell ourselves about ourselves.  Those words in our minds are sometimes kind, but often those words and messages are unkind! Instead of helping us meet our goals, those voices sabotage us. Our kids are the same way. The persistent message that derails what you really want is your "Saboteur."  We ALL have them and the patterns were established early in life.  There are 9 main voices.  By learning what your saboteurs are, you will be able to help yourself and your children have better self-talk. This leads to better behavior, better communication, and better connection.

In PART 3 of this episode SERIES, "Why Won't the Kids Listen!?"  We unpack 3 patterns of auditory processing struggles.  This is when a child doesn't actually process what they hear, you can think of it as struggling to process language. Even if your child is good with language, the activities are still great BRAIN EXERCISES and are helpful for all ages while learning new information!

After listening to the 3 patterns, you will walk away with strategies, or "TOOLS," to use right away to help your child improve their processing skills.  So grab your coffee and notebook with a pen!  I hope you find the answers you are needing!  Please know you may have completely different patterns!  Or maybe you have never identified what your child's patterns are! Hopefully this episode will give you ideas for noticing what is going on for your kiddo. 

As you listen to the ideas presented, some of you will find all you need to make the difference you wish for with your kiddos.  That is SO GREAT!!  However, some of you have bigger struggles and concerns with your children, and you will want to know more and get specific help!  If this is you, Email me at and we can book a call to discuss ways you can work with me directly.   NOTE: in MARCH 2023, I have a huge discount for the first 3 people that sign up to work together!

Have you ever wondered what good those sing-song, rhythmic rhymes are?  Many parents struggle to use non-sense with their kids.  And, anything not understood is non-sense, right? 

Well, let's dig in and figure out why Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss are so popular.  When we consider your child's brain, you will understand the value of these tools much better.

Angela’s FAITH guided her and she shares how this happened in her story.  You are going to be moved and you’ll be glad you listened!

Do you need encouragement to get through grief? How do you get past the death of a child?

Any of us that have more than one child, know children come very different from one another!  We need to learn how to meet the different needs and learning styles in order to be effective with them. My dear friend, Lois, joined me today for a conversation about raising her children.  Her boy's brains are cut from different molds, and they respond differently from each other to the same things. What started as confusing became a delight later on when she and her husband understood their kids learning styles better.  Listen in for ideas how to meet your kids where they are at.

Any of us that have more than one child, know children come very different from one another!  We need to learn how to meet the different needs and learning styles in order to be effective with them. My dear friend, Lois, joined me today for a conversation about raising her children.  Her boy's brains are cut from different molds, and they respond differently from each other to the same things. What started as confusing became a delight later on when she and her husband understood their kids learning styles better.  Listen in for ideas how to meet your kids where they are at. 

Playfully speaking, 

Dinalynn

If you have ever wanted to find a flexible schedule to work your job from home?  If so, have you stopped because you don't know how to do it with elementary-age children at home?  Listen in to hear what worked for Wendy Cocke.  

Wendy Cocke, Author of the #1 bestselling book, “Making Flex Work: Defining Success on Your Own Terms” is the founder of Engineering Leadership solutions and a working mother of two. Prior to starting her business, Wendy spent over 20 years as an engineer in Fortune 500 companies leading global teams. When her oldest child, who is now in middle school, was just an infant, Wendy struggled to find balance. She felt like she was failing at home and at work, so she took matters into her own hands. After 11 months, she was able to convince her company to let her go part time, something that had never been done at the leadership level before. Wendy was told that her career would “stall,” that she was “walking away from everything she had built,” and that “she would never get promoted again,” but she didn’t believe them! She knew there had to be a way to find the balance she and her family desperately needed.  Today, through lived experience and intentional language, Wendy’s children understand that work is something people do to provide for the lifestyle they enjoy, and they work together as a family to seamlessly transition between work and play.

I know you will LOVE this episode!  Enjoy and be INSPIRED!  In Gratitude,

We ALL have our times as parents that we wish to crawl under a rock and hide!  We know it.  We ALL ALSO have those moments where WE ARE ROCKSTARS!  We know those moments, too!  We feel proud of our moments. And, when others share their stories, we learn other ways of handling situations. We gain different perspectives.  We become more creative when we hear how someone else did "the thing!"  

Creative communication remembers not only what we hear, but also how to apply it to what our child sees, hears, how they move, and experience life.  Whatever isn’t working, is there a different way to teach it? 

Join me today for the first EVERYDAY PARENT EPISODE, where we share stories of what we have done to connect with our kids in ways that WORKED!  Our minds open when we hear someone’s story!   I KNOW YOU have HUNDREDS of great stories!  Everyday parent episodes focus on a story to share that encourages others, even when outcomes are not be the idea you expect, such as in today's story.  Join ME, as I begin Everyday Parent episodes with a story from me. 

I have learned so much from the stories of others. Your story is a gift you can give.  I believe when we give our stories, we give ideas to others; we empower other parents!  

Are you willing to share a story of connection or communication with your kids?  If so, please connect with me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com!

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,

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

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,

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!

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
