Hello Friends,
I am glad you are here!  Happy Memorial Day 2023 to my American listeners!
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.  Today, we will discuss that authentic inquiry.  Come learn how to ask "Why?" in a way that gets you to understand what is actually going on inside your child's brain, by listening to a story!
Does your child get confused when you ask “Why?” questions? Do they struggle to answer in a way that makes sense?  There are a few possibilities for this. 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. The younger our kids are, the more literal thinkers they are. 
Are we creating confusion when “Why did you do that?” is not actually a question?
Cheering you on!

49 Why Did My Child Do That?! and How To Ask. The Answer May Not Be What You Think!

*** 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!
