Raising Deaf Kids- Hard of hearing, Hearing Loss, Sign Language, ASL, Listening and Spoken Language, Hearing Impaired
Do you want to know how to practice language skills at home with your child? Are you searching for steps to practice more language at home without taking up too much of your time? Do you dream of being able to fully communicate and connect with your child? You are in the right place! This podcast is for parents of kids with hearing loss who want to find better ways to practice language at home without it taking hours of your time. This podcast will teach you how to fit language practice into your busy day, know what language strategies to practice each day, and find ways to keep your kids engaged so that language practice feels more like play and less like a chore! Hey, I’m Alaine. A mom, wife, and a parent of 2 deaf kids. I remember when I had two kids with hearing loss, and I was faced with practicing two different sets of speech goals everyday while parenting a 2 year old and 4 year old. All while keeping up the day-to-day in the home! I had to QUICKLY figure out how to balance it all and practice those language goals if I wanted my boys to move forward in language learning. So I relied on my knowledge as a former high school spanish teacher of HOW to most effectively teach someone a language while focusing on fun language activities that engaged my kids and allowed us to practice language goals in the fastest amount of time as possible. Language learning HAS to get done for your kids to communicate with you. So let me help you figure this all out! If you’re ready to find more time in your day to practice language skills, learn how to practice so your child achieves the goals in less time, and finally connect with your child via language, then this community is for you! Grab your caffeine of choice and grab some fun toys nearby, because it’s time to up level your child’s language skills! I’ll see you inside!

One of our Raising Deaf Kids Facebook group members said, “Currently, we are struggling at bedtime and waking up without his CI.”
Bedtime can be a little difficult with kids with cochlear implants or hearing aids because they typically don’t sleep with these on, and so if your child wakes in the middle of the night or isn’t easy to get to sleep, they can’t hear you in the process of it all.
And this is all happening at the time of the day where everyone is the most tired and cranky! The last thing we need are cranky pants moms and kids! Today we’re going to talk about how to make the bedtime routine a little more smooth for your deaf or hard of hearing child who wears cochlear implants or hearing aids.
