Are you tired of repeating yourself and wonder why kids don't listen?

In this podcast, we have solutions to get kids to listen better with clear communication and boundaries that benefit kids, 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 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.

Lets 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!

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!
