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! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com
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.

Hey Friends~ 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?
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.

| 25 Apr 2024 | 138 Krys Pappius: Can a Pattern Interrupt Can Drastically Change How You React? Yes! | 00:22:37 | |
Hey Friends~ Sometimes, our problems seem insurmountable! Yet, as you learn some strategies and gain skills, the solutions are simple. I did not say it was easy. Yet, they can be simple! Today’s guest, Krys Pappius, shares how and what she learned after a life-changing car crash while working as a police officer. She had put her dreams on the shelf years earlier, and eventually learned how to take them back down. Hint: It wasn’t just doing the dream, but the feelings that came along with those dreams that propel us. Get a cup of coffee or cold beverage, and kick your feet up if you can!

CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com
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.

| 18 Jan 2024 | 112 Do You Hesitate To Interrupt Your Child's Activity? 4 Steps To Easier Transitions | 00:16:58 | |
Hey Friends~ 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! Dinalynn

ABOUT THE GUEST: ALY YOUNG Aly's background in psychology and sociology led her to explore her passion for education and learning by teaching in various settings, ranging from private to public to charter schools. In every school, Aly noticed that there were always kids who struggled with the material, not because they weren’t smart or weren’t trying, but because the approach was wrong. Aly knows struggling learners because she's been there, and she has seen how the system fails so many children who learn differently so she decided to do something about it. She is now the owner of Learning Lab where she supports struggling learners.

| 02 Feb 2023 | 15 EVERDAY PARENT: Wendy Cocke! Have you ever wondered how to successfully work from home with kids around? Strategies that help children experience work positively. | 00:20:25 | |
Hello Parents! 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, Dinalynn CONTACT: hello@thelanguageofplay.com

| 25 Dec 2023 | 105 Building Language Through Imagination And The Christmas Story, part 1 | 00:17:46 | |
Hey Friends~ 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!

Join today to learn the difference between tantrums and meltdowns, how to know, and ways you can more effectively help your child communicate.

Hey Friends, 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!!

Hey Friends, What Is The Motive Behind Your Child's Behavior? Sometimes what our kids do is weird! It makes no sense! This is true when we look through our logical, adult brain! The problem is that part of our kid's brains is not firing the same way as yours is! Therefore, you think differently! Thank God, our kids have parents! Today's episode is based on a conversation with a friend as we reminisced what we learned - and what we understood - when our kids were young. Distilled down, today's topic is what I think was the biggest game-changer for ME in my parenting. I hope this blesses you!

| 04 Apr 2024 | 132 Erin LoPorto: Why Telling Your Child, “Don’t Worry” Doesn’t Help | 00:26:34 | |
Hey Friends~ 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! Join the FREE Interactive Webinar! May 13, 2024 10 AM CST https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/workshop-free-2ddd5182

Hey Friends~ Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that interferes with learning, understanding, and using language. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA says DLD “is one of the most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 14 children in kindergarten.” To add to the confusion, over the years, “DLD has also been called specific language impairment, language delay, or developmental dysphasia.” Source: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Documents/health/voice/developmental-language-disorder.pdf Is your child struggling in school? Not listening well? & Unable to communicate what they mean? Today’s guest, Lois Letchford, shares her story that led to connecting the dots for her son’s understanding and learning in the presence of Dyslexia, Developmental Language Disorder, and other developmental struggles. She put away what was not working and used what her son was interested in. She says, “Curiosity propagates in the brain in untold ways.” She gives practical descriptions that you can use, whether you are a teacher or a parent, to help your children better. This episode is a must listen for Parents, Educators, Child-care workers, Speech Pathologists, and all those living or working with children! Please share this episode with those who are! Always cheering you on! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com

Hey Friends, 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! Dinalynn

Hello Listeners, What do you do when the UNTHINKABLE OCCURS? How do you find the silver lining in the worst situations? Get some tissues as Angela Alexander shares her story of getting through grief after the death of 2 children and how God used language to aid in healing. Language has the power to hurt or heal. Your Language can destroy or build up the fabric of your family. Your WORDS are POWERFUL. 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? The healing of your broken heart is not an indication of not loving or missing your child. It is an indication of healing; that you are going to be alright and Self-forgiveness is a process. Please pass this information along to any parent you know that might benefit from this hope and healing. CONTACT Angela through her website: http://MiraclesinAction.com to buy her book or talk with her. Thank you Angela, for sharing your story. Dinalynn Rosenbush

Welcome to this episode of The Language of Play! Any of us that have more than one child, know children come very different from one another!

Hey Friends~ 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!

Dear Parents, 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.

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.

Hey Friends, 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!!

Hey Friends~ 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! Always cheering you on! Dinalynn
