Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest JoAnn Grimlich, on air from January 9th
Did you know that one of the most important ways to help your child is simply by talking with them frequently starting as early as birth? The period of birth to age five is a crucial time for language development because at this age the spoken word develops naturally as a result of various types of stimulation. Brain growth, self-confidence, and vocabulary can be enhanced through talking, playing, and reading with your child every day. As parents and caregivers interact with their little one, they can use various strategies and techniques at home or when on the go to help their child develop communication skills. This all begins by having an understanding that children under the age of five experience the majority of their learning opportunities during regular daily routines and playtime. When you take the time to adjust your day-to-day interactions and your everyday routines that you are already engaging in, you can increase opportunities for speech and language development in your child and share special bonding moments together. So, let’s take advantage of daily routines that allow your child to understand and use language and get them ready for school success!!
Jo Ann Gramlich works as a Children’s Speech-Language Pathologist and uses her optimistic nature to empower children to be confident in their own voice so they can be heard and recognized out in the world. It all begins by Jo Ann teaching and helping children to tap into their imagination and skillful mind. She feels her philosophy of making learning fun and educational will bring out the best in children and help them explore their own creative abilities during the early years and beyond.
Jo Ann’s award-winning children’s books, Talk Play and Read with Me Mommy & Talk, Play, And Read With Me Daddy were inspired from her personal passion of working with children. She also published Talk, Play, And Read With Me Mommy Interactive eBook which includes interactive games filled with colorful animation, sound effects, and audio recordings that make a child’s learning experience enjoyable and fun. She continues to share her message with parents, caregivers, and educators to help bring awareness of the importance of early intervention and language development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

I wanted to share my love of the outdoors and interest in the environment. Children can become empowered by reading about other children adventures and that leads them to many activities and adventures.
I’ve done many things in my life, but after getting an undergraduate degree in European History, I got an MBA and got licensed as a Certified Public Accountant. Starting out, I worked in several technology jobs, I managed a 16-attorney law firm, I taught accounting at the community college, and I finally took the leap and opened my own business of developing and managing self storage facilities. After retiring, I wanted to stay active and thought it would be fun to write a book for my grandchildren. My whole family skis, so this prompted me to undertake the first book, Tucker the Sno-Cat. That is when I went looking for an illustrator and co-author and found Annette Zack. After some success with the first book, we decided to write another one titled, Flotsam and Jetsam and other Beach Treasures.

NEW SHOW AIRS DECEMBER 5TH, JUST CLICK ON THE BANNER.
SHOW THREE.Composed live – music and lyrics, one song everyday for 1000 days from 8 April 2017 to 2 January 2020
This project was an afterthought before embarking on a world record attempt to establish legitimacy in the outcome. And proceeded to be a world record in its own right with the Golden Book of World Records – Longest quotidian feat of composing, producing and publishing children’s song incessantly.
SHOW TWO.‘She Played In The Dark’ is the story of a protagonist that found her own definition of and path to fulfilment and success if one may call it that. All this with the responsibility of caring for two college-going children, one of which got married and had two babies in the course of the challenge; aged parents who were always at the back of her mind, the hustle with a rather busy day job that paid the bills, health matters, any travel whether it was on the road to work, by air reaching family and friends or in a lift headed for home (and the challenge).
SHOW ONE. To share my story of realizing my calling after having reached what I imagined was a dead end. There are people out there that are probably at that dead end and cannot see the light of day. If mine could help them see and navigate, I’d have achieved far more than I did through my 1000-day challenge that set four world records in singing-songwriting and everything until then.
