Your baby's brain works differently than yours, and understanding that difference can change the way you communicate from the very beginning. In this episode, Sarah talks with Dinalynn Rosenbush about the baby brain, early family communication, and how parents can do what they can to support optimal future success through connection, routines, tone, and play.

Dinalynn is a speech-language pathologist, parenting coach, speaker, author, and host of The Language of Play. She shares practical communication tips for the earliest months, including repeated words, predictable routines, eye contact, diaper-change conversations, simple signs, and ways to enter a child's world through imagination.

We also talk about behavior as communication, why children may not be ignoring you when they miss an instruction, and how parents can shift expectations when babies and young children do not process the world like adults.
