    222 Tricia Goyer: 3 Keys To Connect With Your Kids And Improve Behavior Along The Way
    2025/07/10

    Hey Friends~

    Have you ever wanted to listen to the wisdom of someone who has been there? Today’s guest is that person. After raising her own kids, she & her family collectively decided to adopt kids and love them.

    With those adoptive kids, trauma therapy was needed. She learned to connect with those kiddos on a deep level. What she learned in trauma therapy not only helped her build connection with her adoptive kids, she learned it was useful in all her relationships.

    Thank you for joining us in this heartwarming and encouraging show!

    Always cheering you on!

    221 Gina Prosch: Have You Built a Habit Of Interaction With Your Kids? How Do It And Why It’s Important
    2025/07/03
    Hey 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. Give kids information in ways they can understand. Helping children learn how to be gracious and forgiving. Activities that push you to push yourself.. is PLAY. Always cheering you on!

    220 What Does “A Language Rich Environment” Really Mean?
    2025/06/26

    Hey Friends~

    You hear child centers and schools claim to have a “Language Rich Environment”. Do you have a language rich environment at home? You can! But what exactly does that mean? And how do you create that in a way that does NOT add another thing to your to do list?

    The trick… is it is all about you, mom and dad. It is not actually the space or the environment. It is how YOU use the environment as a tool to expand their exposure to language. Today, I will tell you how its done! And you will see that YOU CAN! It just takes a shift in THE WAY you interact when you do your normal life.

    Always cheering you on!

    218 Terri Lilga: Why Is Rhyme So Important? Using Literature To Teach Beyond The Words
    2025/06/12

    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!

    217 You Want To Encourage Speech This Summer? Here’s Where To Start!
    2025/06/05

    Hey Friends~

    Families often how to help their child in the summer. Since there is no speech therapy with the school in the summer, some families are nervous and wonder what to do!

    In this episode, we talk about foundational practices that help your children retain and learn speech sounds, particularly when they are not responding to your attempts to help them.

    These strategies, when done well, especially with very young children can change the trajectory of how your child is growing in their speech sound development. Let’s teach you some of these foundational skills! Today, I cover 2 parts: peripheral skills and relational skills. When you get into the habit of BEING this way, your child will come along with remarkable progress

    Always cheering you on!

    2025/05/22
    Hey Friends~ You know in your gut when things are not going right, even if you don’t have the words. 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. This is one way I help parents. Book your call HERE: https://calendly.com/hello-play/strategy-session Always cheering you on!
