Hey Friends~
I love children’s literature! It seems that ANYTHING you want to teach, you can find a book on that and use it as a springboard to help kids learn. This is especially true for social emotional learning. There is power in using stories! One mistake parents make is thinking they need to read a book as written! Today’s guest brings us into her journey into authorship and then shows us …. how to take the story beyond the book! If you wonder how to use a piece of literature to enhance learning, listen in! Terri Lilga shares some great ideas!
Always cheering you on!

Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com ABOUT THE GUEST: Former DC attorney, Daniela Feldhausen realized that her true passion is teaching kids to read. As the founder of Kids Up Reading Tutors, she’s built a team of 20 specialists who help students all across the country overcome dyslexia, dysgraphia and other reading challenges. Their approach is evidence-based and efficient. Students typically get caught up to their classmates in months rather than years. This accelerated progress stems from rigorous application of current research into how students learn to read and spell, sometimes referred to as the "Science of Reading." They’ve developed a structured literacy program that is then tailored to each student's specific needs, combining phonological awareness, Orton-Gillingham-based phonics and systematic spelling instruction. Their one-on-one virtual sessions create a judgment-free environment where struggling readers develop both skills and confidence—turning "I HATE Reading" into "I LOVE Reading!"

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey Friends~ When we talk to our kids, we use words that represent whole concepts all the time. We do it so spontaneously that it’s difficult to communicate without using such words. When our kids don’t have a good repertoire of concept - type words, it makes it difficult for them to do as told, express themselves, or deliver a message, acc urately. Today we discuss what concept words are, why they are important AND what you can do to increase understanding at home! This is the fun part! You don’t need flashcards. You don’t need apps. You already have everything you need to teach these words—just by playing, talking, and living life with your child.

What if we could understand how our child felt by looking at the color that they chose to wear? Wouldn’t that be amazing and helpful?!! Today’s guest decided to combine her child’s interests with colors to create a way to help him communicate better after an acquired language loss. You will learn her story and how she helped her little one regain a way to communicate better again. Many times we as parents want to get our kids out of their icky feelings. The reality is that we want our children to walk through their feelings and to feel their feelings. This is an important part to learning self-regulation. We must allow our children to experience their feelings. Constance Lewis shares her story and the children’s book she wrote to support all children. Always cheering you on, Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com ABOUT THE GUEST: Constance Lewis, a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, began her career in neonatal intensive care before transitioning into roles as a discharge nurse, breastfeeding counselor, and childbirth educator.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey 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.

It’s even harder when you tell someone, but you are told that everything is fine… but you know SOMETHING IS UP. This is the case for today’s guest. She knew that her son needed more help in his sound development, but was constantly told everything was fine. Started seeking help when her son was 18 months old, asking doctors, friends, family members, and more and finally… when her son was 4, the school teacher called out the same concerns that mom knew all along. She was validated and felt such relief. Now, she was empowered, having a direction to go for help! If this is you, you know this is so frustrating! Hang on for today’s story! And, if this is you, then you need a person who knows how to ask the questions, who knows how to probe what is actually happening with your child. Talk to me! I can help. And, whether or not we are a fit to work together, you will leave the conversation with a clearer understanding of what is going on, how to talk about it, and a next step.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey Friends~ Speech confidence is important for adults and kids. Whether you are speaking in public or saying your name in front of a class, we all want to speak with confidence and certainly that what we intend to say is what will come out. Fluency is one area of speech and language development. Many, many kids stutter when they are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and language skills. Many parents come to me and ask - what do I do? Does my child stutter? Today’s guest discusses fluency issues from a personal perspective. So whether you have a toddler with a developmental stutter or a teen who has been diagnosed with a fluency issue, this episode is for you! Always cheering you on! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: hello@thelanguageofplay.com ABOUT THE GUEST: Jason Heffler is an author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with and getting bullied for a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem. His book 'Tongue Tied' is a resource to illustrate how speech issues do not define children. Doctors, parents and people who stutter have connected with the book’s unique message: that they do not need to be "fixed." Instead of chasing a cure, they’ve shared how liberating it is to embrace the truth that their voice—exactly as it is—can carry them through a life filled with all the same possibilities as others.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey Friends~ We experience play with our children in a variety of ways. One of those ways is Free Play. Free Play is completely imaginative and it is entirely directed by the child. Another way we play is Structured Play is when we use play to help our children go in the direction we want them to go. That may be learning, movement, practice, or anything really. In Structured Play, we have an INTENTION for our kids. That is why sometimes people call it Intentional Play. Kids need both to develop well! When we don’t provide enough play, our kids suffer. Today’s Guest tears apart some of the issues that are happening and what we can do about it for our children. Get out your Pen & Paper, or whatever you use to take notes, because you will learn a lot in this episode! 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.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHey Friends~ Walking the road of parenting is hard. It is filled with joy and struggles. We are okay to feel the way we feel. No matter what you feel about it. Learning to let go of negative judgment and condemning thoughts about our feelings is critical to be authentically yourself. Parents are often able to do this with their kids, but continue to struggle to be so kind to themselves. If this is you, you will LOVE today’s Episode with Susanna Peace Lovell, author of Your True Self is Enough . Susanna’s daughter wrote in the forward of the book, “Learn to understand your child rather than make them do what you think is normal.” When you learn from your child who they are, instead of trying to create them to be who we want them to be, we free ourselves to do the same for ourselves. You will be glad you tuned in to this encouraging and authentic episode. Always cheering you on!
