Happy National ASL Day!

Communication

Whether your children are hearing or not, ASL is a great tool to promote communication in families at an early age! Much love for baby sign language for decreasing the tantrums and helping me understand my baby even before she could talk!

ASL became our main form of communication after my middle was born Deaf. He's my only Deaf child but we all use ASL. Not only is it great for communicating with pre verbal toddlers but it's wonderful for communicating with your kids when you want to leave the family party early so you tell one of them to fake a stomach ache.
