*** 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 dont 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 dont 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 childs 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. Ive 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. Lets 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.

261 Jan Talen: Struggling Kids, Stressed Marriage. Where Do You Start?
Friday, 10 April, 2026
Hey Friends~ We are in the middle of the series “When Communication is hard” to discuss a topic that is just as important and impacts our kids. That is—the strength of the parent relationship itself. Today’s conversation with Jan shifts the focus to how, when parents grow in connection and calm, it creates a foundation that helps even the most challenging behaviors begin to settle. What if the key to calmer kids isn’t found in another parenting technique, but in strengthening your relationship as a couple? In this conversation, JanTalen and I explore how parents can decide what’s both nice and necessary in the middle of stress, so connection isn’t lost when tension rises. We talk about why the parent relationship needs to come first, and how, when it does, children actually feel more secure and settled because they are growing from that foundation. You’ll hear simple ways to walk yourself through overwhelming moments, allowing your calm and logic to “hold” your emotions so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting in frustration. And throughout it all, we come back to gratitude, growth, and celebration, because when you begin to shift, even in small ways, your child often follows, and together you create a home where connection and progress happen side by side.

Jan knows it doesn’t have to be that way. Using her marriage and family knowledge and skills, she developed the pathway for new parents to stay together while parenting their kiddos and keeping their marriage relationship strong. She practiced this (with Chip) within their own marriage and family of 4 kids. The D of divorce was squashed. Their marriage and family turned into one filled with the A’s of appreciation and adoration. Being connected, communicating well and resolving confusion and conflicts is doable and even enjoyable while moving from Family Crazy to Family Calm with the DNA Way to Communicate.
