Hello Parents, This is the final episode in this series, "Helping Your Child Produce Speech Sounds." My hope for you has 3 parts: 1-that you feel more confident, have a bit more of a road map in knowing a few strategies for a few sounds. 2- that you see how learning these strategies help you manage the behaviors that are associated with your child's frustration when they cannot communicate well. 3- that you know how to work with your child's developing brain so you can target your teaching using their main operating system. When you know how to do these things, you will more easily build skills of communicating, strengthen your connection, and have more enjoyment along the parenting journey.

Hello Friends, Today we celebrate 50 Episodes! And, we continue the conversation from last time. 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. Last time, we considered the power of the authentic, curious inquiry. Today, we discuss the detrimental power of using that question as a statement of correction, blame, sarcasm, or shame. Most of us experienced some of this as we grew up. We will discuss the outcomes and how you can identify and make empowering choices for yourself and your family. Are we creating confusion when “Why did you do that?” is not actually a question?

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!

Hey Friends, How do you listen to what your child is NOT saying? The tantrums give us something to listen to! But that is NOT what WE want! Is there a way to look at that tantrum or frustration and SEE what your child's body is saying? Good practice for this comes when you have BIG, positive adjustments in your household. Maybe it is a new baby. Maybe a big trip. Maybe you are moving homes. Whatever the adventure, your child will experience it differently than you, and it might not be a fun welcome - - at first! It just takes a little adjustment. Today, we discuss 4 strategies to help you help your kiddos adjust! Let's look at how we can read our littlest ones for clues to understand them better.

Hello Parents! We all have words we tell ourselves about ourselves. Those words in our minds are sometimes kind, but often those words and messages are unkind! Instead of helping us meet our goals, those voices sabotage us. Our kids are the same way. The persistent message that derails what you really want is your "Saboteur." We ALL have them and the patterns were established early in life. There are 9 main voices. By learning what your saboteurs are, you will be able to help yourself and your children have better self-talk. This leads to better behavior, better communication, and better connection. I'm glad you are here! Dinalynn Curious about Parent Coaching? Email me: [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST: Denise Belisle is the founder of Denise Belisle In-Motion Coaching.
