    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.

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. They also touch on how media can be a useful tool when used interactively with parents. A success story of turning a child's tantrums into confident communication through music and play highlights the transformative power of mindful speech therapy. 00:00 The Importance of Slowing Down Speech 01:23 Introduction to Janine Tang and Her Book 01:59 Understanding 'Play Dumb and Sabotage' 03:20 Creating Opportunities for Language Practice 05:11 Parental Involvement and Interaction 07:14 Recognizing Developmental Milestones 25:31 The Role of Preschool and Peer Interaction 28:33 Addressing Speech Issues in Adulthood 30:51 Success Stories and Practical Tips 35:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
