    I subscribed at “did he file his taxes”? I started ASL with my 5 month old when he was born and now my 8 and 9 year old talks to me with sign. It’s so rewarding.

    My son just turned 20, we used these Signing Times videos back then. He picked it up so fast and to this day will sign to me as a “remember when?!” Back in the day older parents swore to us that we would delay his speech by signing; complete bs! Loved being able to communicate with him, it alleviated so much frustration! Glad to see it still being used!

    Can you imagine? There was a video about the baby that showed to its mom that it was sleeping on its hands. It was an answer to her question. I commented that babies understand a way more than some of us might think. And I got so many answers attacking me and demanding proof. Lol! There we go, I'm here to take a link and prove it. I think you did an awesome job teaching your baby.

    Sing language can also work in order to bridge the gap between two languages. Example the word tree in English sounds different than árbol on Spanish but by signing the word the child now has the visual representation of what are the same words but in a different language.

    Hi there! I’m not Deaf or Hard of Hearing but I would highly suggest looking into some resources that are created by Deaf creators. Some of your signs are not entirely correct - not a bad thing; youre learning too! :) I’ve worked as an interpreter for a while and I think you might find more helpful signs and resources beyond just baby sign. ❤

    • @risotto4life577
      @risotto4life577 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I've seen some deaf creators express that they feel baby sign is a form of cultural appropriation, and that if possible signs that parents use with children should resemble the correct ASL (or whatever the national sign language is in their country) sign.
      Obviously I'm not judging parents who choose to use baby sign (compared to proper sign) with their children. I myself just never considered this point of view, and I think it could perhaps be helpful for parents or others who are interested in the topic.

      I definitely second this (I am hearing btw)! I am a college student studying CSD and ASL. I love that you are teaching your baby sign language and that it's been effective so far. I would also highly suggest to learn the correct way to sign these things from Deaf resources/content, so if needed in the future, your baby can communicate with Deaf children or those who use ASL effectively if need be!

      @@DefinitelyNotBlackOpalDirect Theres no need to be quite so condescending, as I was only shared the perspective of a deaf person. I personally like hearing about different points of view, and even if I don't agree with them myself I try and be understanding and share them with others. Discussions are great.
      To expand on that though she specifically said it was only cultural appropriation to teach a baby sign language and then abandon it when they begin speaking. She said it was almost offensive that parents only viewed it as a cute little way to talk to their baby, and then discarded it once the baby could speak as "there was no longer any need". Essentially, parents were taking an aspect of deaf culture without actually considering the population group it belongs to. Parents weren't teaching their baby's sign language so that they could communicate with deaf people (highly needed!) instead they only used it as a substitute for speech.
      She did not mean that a non-deaf person speaking sign language was cultural appropriation, in fact she WANTS parents to teach their children sign language. She just doesnt want them to throw it away.

    Speech is based on the ability to use fine motor in the tunge the cheeks, and back throat.
    The ability to sign uses large motor skills, including hands arms, and brain coordination .
    That's why it's best to teach signing, large motor develops faster, earlier then time motor. Huh!

    That’s so awesome the signs are working with Milo! I need to get better about doing signs with my baby. She’s 11.5 months old, and still isn’t copying any of the signs, though I’ve not been as diligent as you. I have done milk and all done for a while, and I’ve started using more and water in the last few months. Right now she tells us she’s all done by throwing food, and that is such a struggle! At least she’s getting really good about waving and pointing/gesturing.

    My 16m old is barely talking. He says mom and dad, sometimes.. that’s the only really understandable things he says. He sometimes says please, but it’s just peee. I started using sign with him and he can do more, all done, please, food, and milk. I’ve started water and thank you. I’m glad he is able to use those to help communicate besides pointing and screaming haha. I know it’s not his hearing because he obviously understands what I say and obey commands, but language wise verbally he just isn’t talking. He babbles a lot, so I know he’s getting there, but it’s hard not to worry because both my girls started taking really early and my oldest had a vocabulary of over 100 words by the time she was 1.

    My daughter was born with a developmental disability with speech delay. I remember one day I was in the kitchen and had called out to her in the living room did she want a drink. Well, I asked like 3 times with no answer so I went into the living room to ask again and she was doing a hand sign which I found out meant yes. I spoke to her teacher who told me there was another student in her class who used ASL and the kids were learning some of it from watching that student using it. I thought it was a wonderful thing and we learned a few common signs while she was in elementary school. She is now 38 and able to communicate without a problem, but she still remembers a few signs. What your doing is fantastic and definitely helps diminish frustration for everyone.

    (If i remember that by the time i have a baby.... in like many years.... i might just do that)
    Another question related to that: has it changed how (or how much) he speaks? So do you feel like he is doing that normally or is he using it less (or learning it slower) because of that?
