About this listen

 *** A Top 1.5% Podcast! *** Getting Kids to Listen, Speech Therapy, IEP, Communication with Kids, Parent Mentor, Family Connection Are you tired of repeating yourself with your children or wonder why they don’t listen? Are you afraid you are doing the wrong thing to help your kids communicate, but you are unsure what to do? Are you frustrated that your kids argue, whine or debate with you? Hey parents, you don’t need to stay overwhelmed, exhausted, and triggered by the fuss. In this podcast, you will find solutions to … get kids to listen better, build strong communication - even in the presence of a speech delay, and have boundaries that benefit kids. All while enhancing your relationships! My mission is to help puzzled, busy, worried parents read their child’s behavior as communication. When we understand what they are communicating, WE start to communicate differently! This is true of children with typical development, children in dual language homes, and children with delays. When Your Language allows for discovery, creativity, curiosity and exploration, connection is born. Connected kids are courageous and listen better. Connected kids have fewer meltdowns. Listen in to learn empowering strategies for teaching and listening! Hello, my name is Dinalynn Rosenbush, mom, grandma, Speech Language Pathologist of over 30 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of children with speech & language delays and navigated single parenthood. Through training and my own struggles, I learned to use specific language in specific ways that build connection. Our communication is not only our words, but it is the feeling our children have when we speak with them. Let’s create a home where exploration is welcomed, mistakes are stepping stones, and practice is expected. When kids believe you are on their team, eventually, they join your team! Because, what works for speech and language disabled children, simply works! I believe all parents should have access to these skills, not just specialists. It is my hope to give small nuggets of information in each episode to build your communication toolbox. So, if you are ready to build deep, meaningful connection AND create a more peaceful, productive and happy home. Listen in! Let’s interrupt the way you have been parenting. so that you CAN BECOME THE PARENT you WANT to be. I am glad you are here!

    Hey Friends~

    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!

    221 Gina Prosch: Have You Built a Habit Of Interaction With Your Kids? How Do It And Why It’s Important
    Jul 3 2025
    Hey Friends~ 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!

    220 What Does “A Language Rich Environment” Really Mean?
    Jun 26 2025

    Hey Friends~

    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!
