My daughter was speech delayed and we used sign language to help her. It really helped! When she was 3, we went to the Indianapolis zoo. She went up to the gorilla exhibit and started to sign to them. A female went up to her and signed back. It was so cool to watch them interact with each other using sign language! Wish I recorded it, but I’ll never forget it.

That's amazing. My daughter is going through the same thing at the age 3. It helps to sign because now she doesn't get as upset because she can let us know what she needs

How beautiful! My grandtwins are fraternal & 1 is a bit more advanced than the other. The slower one cries this ridiculously screeching cry at random times as well as when she wants something, RIGHT NOW or doesn't get hervwsy. I told my daughter that she's being manipulative with it & trying tobusevit as her language & only meansbof communicating. I'm going to bringbit to their Pediatrician's attention & keep monitoring her. I'm limited on what I remember in sign language, so I'm learning, again to teach them. Maybe it will help🤷🏾‍♀️🙏🏾

We also used baby sign language with all 3 of our kids, we had the same signs for food/eat,more,all gone,and they too made the ‘world’s smallest violin’ 😜sign for ‘night night’(naptime/bedtime),my twins had lovies (small soft blankets)that they would rub between their fingers like that. We didn’t use the w for water sign or the milk sign,the food sign worked for ‘mama milk’ or later on ‘bobbas’ and solid food,they could let me know which they wanted pretty easily.We also had the sign for read/book (both hands pretending to open a book) and bounce/ball (hand motion like you are bouncing a ball). My oldest and I learned thank you from ‘Blue’s Clues’ (palm facing face, fingertips touch chin,hand down palm up toward whoever you are thanking). It really did help with early communication and frustration for sure on both sides!😃

Is this something you teach right when they’re born? And they pick it up as they start to grow more ? Like should I do this with my newborn. Just so they can get familiar with it ?

@lindybudd3053 3 жыл бұрын

@@mazzyy5915 You can start it at birth, but I think most people start it around three or four months. They won't start picking it up until around 6 months at the youngest. As your baby is playing you do the sign while saying the word. For example, while playing with your baby you can stop say more and do the sign and then start playing with the same toy again. Same for All Done, if you are finished playing do the sign while saying All Done. With any language the more you use it around them the more they will pick it up. Just keep in mind that even if you start at birth they developmentally won't start mimicking you until around 6 months. Around 6 months is when they start having the motor skills to do the signs. 6 months is also when a baby starts being cognitively aware or their surroundings.

We have been teaching my daughter ASL since she was born. She could communicate when she was hungry, thirsty, done, had to go potty, etc. She's been communicating from about 6 months old. She's 20 months now and still learning every day and has a great signing and spoken vocabulary. I'll continue teaching her all through school age.

My son had speech apraxia and I used a few signs but didn’t practice enough with him so we did them sometimes and he didn’t really learn them. He had a few words at 3. By 3-1/2 he had a full vocabulary. It was amazing. Many people are worried that “if I teach my baby sign language they won’t talk”. Well talking is easier than signing so once they learn the words the sign language will stop. So go ahead and teach sign language!

Kristen, Thank you for sharing this video! 😃 My daughter who is 2 1/2 has been signing since she was 6 months and continues to do so. She uses signing as a form as communication with talking by expressing her wants and needs daily. She knows 30+growing to learn more daily and her ABC's. I plan to do the same with my son. I find ASL such a beautiful language and should be taught to anyone at any age.

So great to see!! We used all these baby signs in the preschool where I use to work. We strongly encouraged parents to use it at home so that the children who were not yet speaking had a great way to communicate their needs. We would use the sign for sleep to have them let us know when they were sleepy or when it was time for a nap.

Thank you for this video! A few friends suggested I try sign with my 5 month old after she raised a towel she was playing with after she recognized the word, "up", from me teaching her up, down, left and right. I was saying up, down, up, down and we were both giggling as she raised the towel up and lowered it down. It was incredible and way more than I thought possible for a baby her age! Also, sleepy makes so much sense. My 5 year old still makes that motion with her blanket at bed time 💞

I think sign is so valuable with as many deaf people that hospitals need interpreters for. This is a wonderful way of getting children used to using sign interactive with speaking. One thing I've noticed with you guys that is great. You let each child be who they are. From what I've seen, you treat them with equal love, but you don't expect Atlas to progress like Chell has, nor do you expect Chell to be immediately in big sister mode by excluding her while Atlas needs more attention. 👋😀

I'm gonna get on my soap box here for a second. I'm an ASL interpreter and have been working for the past 7 years and have known ASL for over 10. I just wanted to emphasize the fact that American Sign Language is a fully fledged language independent of English or any other spoken or signed language in the world. It is my hope that you guys, and everyone else that will read this, understands that and respects the fact that ASL is cherished by the Deaf community; as it is their language. "Baby Signs" isn't really set up to be a language but rather as a tool to aid hearing babies to communicate before they can speak. It is then often dropped as speaking English is the "right" way. I implore you to also educate yourselves on Deaf Culture and more on ASL. It will be a great way to not only expand your knowledge about a (often oppressed) minority, but also expose your children to rich culture and language. Maybe check out some local deaf events in your area. There might be community classes for learning ASL with deaf people instructing. :)

I've always loved sign language. At an elementary school I attended, I had another classmate that was deaf and his sign language teacher started teaching all the kids to sign. The school allowed her to take some time each week to teach us the alphabet and different signs that I still remember today. I live in a small area that doesn't seem to offer anything like you mentioned. Any suggestions on how someone could go about learning more?

I have used sign language for the last 2 years in high school, finishing up with ASL 112 online course of this term and already planned on taking ASL 113 next term. Believe it or not, when I transfer to a new school this fall, I'll be minoring in ASL. I do believe that sign language is a great way to improve your child's ability to talk later on. So, good on you Kristen for taking that up! The official sign for tired is when you have both hands open with your four fingers touching the chest area and you slump it down like you're tired. Sleepy is when you have one hand in a crab position, close to your face, and you close that "crab snapping hand" while closing your eyes.

Your sign for tired and all done are incorrect. I googled ASL to verify because my daughter used ASL on all 3 of her kids and those two didn't look quite right to me as you were doing them, hence looking them up. I understand the one for tired is one Chell made up, and you did make it clear that it's not the official sign. That said, I think it is wonderful that you are using sign language for them. It cuts down on the babies frustration when they can communicate before they can talk. I just wish I had known to do that 40 years ago when I was raising my daughter and son.
