166 Bonus! Narrating: Effective to handle difficult behaviors and build language! Here’s how!

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!

162 Do You Know How To Show Love In Any Language? Paul Zolman Shares A Simple Game That Works!

Hey Friends~ Parents, have you ever wanted to have a simple way to play with your children and learn something about them? Today’s guest has created a simple method to do just that! Roll a die and let magic happen as the whole family has a way to learn about one another’s love language. Simple, quick, allows for celebration, and encourages communication! You will love this! It's Simple, Easy, and Brilliant! Always cheering you on! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST: Paul Zolman’s childhood experience was the opposite of love, and he learned & eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. His Book, “Role of Love: The Most Effective Way to Demonstrate Love Everyday,” and journal, “Role of Love Journal: Practicing Love Every Day” CONTACT THE GUEST: www.roleoflove.com Instagram: @roleoflovedice and @paul_zolman https://www.facebook.com/roleoflovedice https://www.facebook.com/paul.zolman.7/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulzolman/ Buy Paul’s book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=role+of+love+paul+zolman&crid=T5K0X0E88X33&sprefix=Paul+zolman%2Caps%2C219&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_11 Time-Sensitive Resources from The Language Of Play: ** SUMMER 2024 ONLY!

138 Krys Pappius: Can a Pattern Interrupt Can Drastically Change How You React? Yes!

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! Prepare to be transported away and inspired! And... Join the FREE Interactive Webinar! "Beyond Obedience: Unveiling the Power of Listening in Kids" https://dinalynnr.systeme.io/workshop-free-2ddd5182 Always cheering you on! Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn: [email protected] 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.

132 Erin LoPorto: Why Telling Your Child, “Don’t Worry” Doesn’t Help

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.
