baby signing

[Guest guest]

doesn't get the Mommy and daddy signs, so we took pictures and sent them to

school so they can show him pictures of Mommy and sign it and daddy and show him

the sign. When we are there he doesn't have a clue what I'm trying to tell him.

Re: Re: Baby signing

...don't forget the Mommy and Daddy signs (if they apply), and a sign for

each sibling (I forget the guideline for making it up). Eat and drink were

some we used in the beginning. Think along the lines of power words to help

in communication & decrease frustration.

:My question is more about how you began to sign with a very young

>child, then where you learned sign. I'd like to know what kinds of

>signs you started with, and when more conceptual signs such as more

>and done, and pragmatic signs such as please and thank you, were

>introduced.

And the child's own name sign (if not already chosen). I remember one of the

things that most bothered me when we found out Neal was deaf was that I

realized my child didn't even know his own name, or that he or any one else even

had one. (He was 18 months old when we learned he was deaf.)
