Welcome to this special place where all are welcome, and all leave changed and empowered.

I am Denita Dinger, the voice and passionate heart behind Listen to the Children, and (formerly), Play Counts. I am honored and thrilled that you are here!

Take a moment to look at this photo collage. Note the child in the center... that is little me. . At the core of who I am today is a lifetime full of experiences that, lucky for me, began as a little girl allowed to PLAY and use her imagination.

My hope is, as you scroll through my course and coaching offerings, you find the perfect fit for you.

It is impossible to PLEASE everyone, but I do my absolute best to provide trainings that MEET everyone where they are with their grasping and application of a child-led pedagogy.

The majority of my courses are self-paced, so never a source of stress. They are designed to be taken in small pieces, then give yourself time to apply that knowledge before attacking another "nugget of knowledge".

I hope you stay a while, begin with a course of your choosing. Then come back and try a few more.

My mission is to EMPOWER adults to, in turn, EMPOWER children.

Let's go... make a difference!
