The Language Of Play

*** A Top 1.5% Podcast! *** Getting Kids to Listen, Speech Therapy, IEP, Communication with Kids, Parent Mentor

 

Are you tired of repeating yourself and wondering why your child still doesn’t listen?

Are you worried you might be missing something important when it comes to your child’s speech, language, or behavior?

Do arguments, whining, or meltdowns leave you feeling exhausted and unsure what to do next?

Hey parents—you don’t have to stay overwhelmed, worn down, or triggered by the daily fuss.

 

I’m Dinalynn Rosenbush, a mom, grandma, and Speech-Language Pathologist for over 30 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech and language challenges and navigated parenting struggles of my own. Through both training and lived experience, I learned how using specific language in intentional ways builds safety, trust, and growth. Communication isn’t just about words, it’s about how children feel when we speak to them.

 

I’m here to help you understand what your child is really communicating and respond in ways that build listening, speech, and connection. You’ll learn how to support communication—even with speech or language delays—set boundaries that truly help kids, and strengthen your relationship at the same time. My mission is to help busy, worried parents learn to read behavior as communication. When we understand what children are telling us, we begin to communicate differently.

 

These ideas work for typically developing children, kids in dual-language homes, and children with delays. When your language invites discovery, curiosity, and exploration, connection is born. Connected kids are more courageous. They listen better. They have fewer meltdowns.

In this podcast, you’ll find simple, empowering strategies you can use right away. My hope is to give you small, practical nuggets in each episode to build your communication toolbox—because what works for children with speech and language challenges, simply works!  And all parents deserve access to these skills, not just the specialists.

 

If you’re ready to build deeper connection and create a more peaceful, confident home, listen in!  Let’s interrupt old patterns—so you can become the parent you want to be, and your child KNOWS is on their team.

 

I am glad you are here!

Dinalynn

Hey Friends~

*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.

Always cheering you on!

The charity and its cause

Small Steps in Speech

The mission of Small Steps in Speech is to help children with speech and/or language disorders take the steps needed to be better communicators. The foundation was created in honor of SSG Marc Small, fiancé of Amanda Charney, foundation director. Marc had dreams of Amanda opening her own private practice and came up with the name, “Small Steps in Speech” to symbolize her soon to be last name along with the small steps children must take to build their communication skills. When the heart breaking news came of Marc’s passing, starting this non-profit foundation seemed like a good way to start keeping Marc Small’s memory alive and keep him close to her heart.
