Fireese is now 2 and three quarters, watch as she shows off her printing skills :-)

People often email me and ask if they should continue signing with their child after they start talking. I always say 100% yes! It is so valuable beyond being able to simply communicate their needs to you early. Plus it is a great second language to know. Here is an article I wrote about the benefits of signing with preschoolers:

  • I love seeing your ...

    I love seeing your daughter sign. My daughter turned one-year old two weeks ago and has learned and uses 30 (ASL) signs and has a verbal vocabulary of over 20 words. We are loving it.
    I am now using it in my special education class and have been amazed at how fast and well my students are picking it up and using it.

    i'm sorry about your mom.

    why do you teach babies/kids how to sign if they aren't deaf - because a loved on is?

  • My little girl has ...

    My little girl has just turned One, and she's started signing and we're so proud of her! Her first sign was 'more' and she has a sign for 'teddy' 'singing' and 'dancing' which she uses almost every day! We're working on 'milk' at the moment, she almost has it, and we go through the alphabet every day, so she's familiar with the sounds etc.

    Thanks for the initial videos you made, I can't believe how quickly Fireese is growing up, she'd gorgeous!

  • My mom just passed ...

    My mom just passed away recently and we owned a duplex house with her so Fireese saw her everyday. This traumatic event has put the potty training on hold until we deal with these emotions of grief. Why do you ask?
