We did signing in a half-ass way with Little Bear. She really did catch on to some of them though. She still uses “all done” and “drink” a lot which is great.

I work with infants and toddlers, and we teach them to sign the basics, like, “more”, “all done”, “eat”….it is truly amazing how fast they pick it up and how it really makes you feel you are communicating with them so easily.

I started teaching it to my twins when they were seven months old (the recommended age). It was wonderful and got us through the tough times because we could communicate. Now they are nearly seven and all my kids, even the teenagers, still sign to each other in a little game we created (even though we don’t need to sign anymore). One will do the “I love you” and the next will do “I love you more”. After that comes “No, I love you more”. And on and on until someone messes up their sign and we all curl up in a fit of giggles.

Brilliant idea!!! I had learned ASL in high school & for whatever reason I would use it while talking with our oldest son – he had a pretty extensive vocabualry until he was 18 months, then one day just stopped speaking, he was later diagnosed with autism … you are ALL your kiddos a great service with sign language!

I wish I did that with Breanna. Now the only sign she knows is rolling her eyes!! LOL!

I started teaching Zachary some signs and found a lady in my MOPS groups that actually teaches ASL…and she’s teaching anyone from our group for free! It’s definately the way to go for a baby that can’t tell you he’s tired or hungry or whatever!

Another benefit to a person’s children learning sign, is that if your child happens to go to school with a “Pablo”, they can instantly communicate with them, and interact with them. We use sign with all our little ones at school, just so that they can all communicate with our non-verbal and hearing impaired little ones.

Man, I have been so lazy. I haven’t tried teaching L ANYTHING in that regard. Maybe I should!
