What is the episode’s main focus and why does it matter for families of children with speech delays?
Hey everybody, this is Carrie Clark and you are listening to episode number twelve of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast. This is the podcast with activities and resources for families of children with speech and language delays and disorder. Today's topic is HELP! My child with a communication problem is acting out. No, none of our children do that, right? And in the quick tip, I will share a website where you can learn about a behavior system that you can use in your home to improve behavior. Before we get started though, I have a plea for you, my audience. At the time of this recording, I have had 241 downloads of my podcast, which is awesome. I'm super excited about that. Unfortunately though, I only have one lonely iTunes review, and I'm sad to say that it is my husband.
He is so amazing and supportive, and he just wanted the world to know how awesome I am. But that means that even though I've been downloaded over 2,000 times, I have no idea if anyone is actually listening to me or what people think of the podcast. So please, please, please head over to iTunes and leave me a review so I know that you're out there and I know what you think. I want to make this podcast as helpful as possible to my listeners, but I just don't know who you are or what you need. So let me know if you're a parent, a speech language pathologist, a student, any other role you may have. Uh just let me know what you think. Thank you in advance in advance for those of you who do go ahead and leave me a review.
Even if you're listening to this month in the future, I really do appreciate the feedback and I want to know you're out there and I'm not just talking to myself in my living room. All right, let's move on into the feature segment. So let's talk about the connection that there is between tantrums and behavior problems and an inability to communicate. Um, this is something that comes up a lot when I have children come into my office for consults. Um, I always ask about behavior because if a child's having trouble communicating, chances are they're gonna have trouble with some behaviors as well. Um, you know, some of those behaviors may not be related to communication, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of them are.
Uh behaviors you may see in children who can't communicate are getting frustrated, trying to uh giving up trying to communicate with you, screaming and kicking when they're not getting their way, and having trouble with transitions. So let's go ahead and talk about some of those specifically and what's going on there. The first one I mentioned was getting frustrated. Children who have trouble communicating are going to have trouble being understood by others, they're going to have trouble getting their point across, and that can be very frustrating. Imagine if you were trying to uh communicate at work to your coworkers and nobody understood what you were saying. That would be incredibly frustrating.
For these children that have this problem again and again and again that every time they try to communicate nobody understands them.
Why does the host ask listeners to leave an iTunes review and how does that help the podcast?
they can get very, very frustrated and that tolerance for that frustration can go down, which will cause them to, um, kind of seem to go off the handle a little easier than some children. So whereas You know, a child without a speech and language delay may be able to kind of work through some of that frustration. Your child with a speech and language delay may just fall apart when he's not able to communicate or may fall apart when something else frustrating happens because he's just not used to being able to overcome that frustration. Another thing we see with these kids is that they give up trying. So if you have a child who's trying to communicate, trying to communicate and you never understand and you're trying but they're it's just they're just not able to succeed, eventually they're gonna give up trying and
the behaviors or the tantrums that they've learned are just going to become easier to go to than trying to communicate over and over again.
