  • Building Future Communicators- With Speech Expert Jeaneen Tang
    Nov 8 2024

    So many of our results in life are a product of our communication. From simple things like sharing what we want for lunch that day, to the more complex tasks like inspiring others with a vision of the future, words and our use of language tend to do the heavy lifting.

    On the flip side, lack of communication earns its own set of results. Just ask anyone who has experienced a failed business, relationship or lost opportunity because of poor communication.

    My guest today has dedicated her last twenty years to the field of speech pathology and recently wrote a book about how anyone with a child in their life can help them develop the language skills that will set them up for more confidence and success in their future.

    Jeaneen Tang’s book is called Play Dumb and Sabotage and she explains what it means to mindfully underestimate a child’s needs, in order to create opportunities to practice language.

    ----more---- Enhancing Early Language Development with Jeaneen Tang In this episode of A Joyful Rebellion, host James interviews Jeaneen Tang, a speech pathologist with over 20 years of experience, about her new book, 'Play Dumb and Sabotage.'

Jeaneen emphasizes the role of interactive parenting in language development for children aged zero to three and shares practical strategies such as offering choices instead of yes/no questions.
