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!
We use Baby Signing Time too! When we first started, my mom kept telling us how she needs to learn to "actually speak". We did NOT allow that for long.
This was so fascinating. It never occurred to me that a baby could learn sign language. Teaching Milo must be so rewarding for you and Michael. Wonderful video this week. ❤❤
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.
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.
My baby is six months and since starting solids I’ve been saying and trying to sign “more” and “all done” and enunciating it very clearly. This is so helpful!
This video came at the perfect time! My nephew is learning ASL in daycare, but I don’t always understand what’s he’s trying to communicate because I don’t speak it. Now I can practice!
I wish I had learned as a kid. My nieces and nephews and younger cousins were taught. It definitely wasnt as emphasiezed or had the same awareness 30 years ago when I was a baby
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. ❤
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!
@@risotto4life577 people will always find a reason to complain. Children can't talk. Using sign language to communicate with someone who can't talk is not cultural appropriation.
@@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.
This is awesome ! My babygirl is 5months old and im trying to teach her milk , eat, and mama. Lol this was educational!! I cant wait for my baby to talk to me more as she grows ❤
This is fascinating and so so cute Lucie. Kudos to you and your family for sustaining the effort and commitment required for this kind of communication ❤
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! M
I am so glad I saw this video before having kids. This is absolutely brilliant, genius, and amazing Lucie. I have been following you for years and am so glad and a long term fan and supporter. This is great and the reason for social media - to learn these incredible helpful tips. Thank you!!!
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.
Awsome !!! I am currently doing it with my third boy, doing it the French version! We use the same words and I added "diaper change", and "it hurts". The second one was really interesting to use before he got his vaccinations. Milo is adorable !!!
Any suggestions on how to work with a 21 month old who only says "a"? Speech therapy starts next month, but I was told that I might want to work with her on sign language. As of now, I can't get her attention long enough with what I've tried.
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.
Thats actually a great idea. For general communication and maybe in the future so he can actually learn some of it if he wants to. (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?
Since your baby has learned your sign for milk, you need to stick with it. However it is wrong. You are actually waving. The correct sign is like you are milking a cow’s teat, so your hand is horizontal.
So far Milo has started saying a bunch of these words verbally! I just found this useful before he could say them! He now says “more” and “all done” etc. seems very verbal!!
@@luciebfink All children are certainly different! My boy is clearly a little lazy with his speech 😅 but we did see the speech therapist and they did say that the signs he used to communicate may have delayed his speech. However, they all get there in the end 👍
I find this comment a little strange...I am a mother and this is my youtube channel, so if you're looking for exclusively non-motherhood content then I think you should fill that cup elsewhere! On my channel you're going to get a little of everything.
Thank you for posting this!! As a pediatric speech language pathologist, I very much recommend the use of sign to help children communicate ☺️
Love this!! Thanks Bridget!!

YES this is so true.
Different sign languages have different signs for things. Some similar, some same, some very different.
I hope he keeps learning ASL! It’s great being able to communicate with the deaf community even if it’s only a few words
Yes 100%%%

We always teach thank you early on too-it’s always nice to feel thanked for the things you do for your kid haha

Amazing! Teaching Milo to be an inclusive child is 🥰👏
Si excited to try it too
Love this! ❤️
This is so cute!
Great Video! Thanks
How do you tell the difference between the sign for water and food when he does it? His gestures look so similar
I remember seeing one of your videos when you were feeding him and i saw ,,more" sign, and I was like hm...ASL? :D It's so usefull.
hehe yes! sooo useful
My son is speech delayed and doesnt show a clear understanding of his needs. He is 19 months is it too late to teach him sign language to communicate?
So helpful! ❤
Wow!! That's really Great !!🤩😍
My 5 mo started to do all done and Im so amazed by how babies learn too fast!!
Any suggestions on how to work with a 21 month old who only says "a"? Speech therapy starts next month, but I was told that I might want to work with her on sign language. As of now, I can't get her attention long enough with what I've tried.
Following I’m having the same problem!
This is for only deaf baby or just normal baby

awesome!!!
I did sign language when I was a baby, and I took classes when I went to high school . I am doing it right now the school I work at.
I would love for you to do a video of recipes for puree love you 😁❤
Def want to try this!!! Did you link a book you read? Would love to learn more 😊
This was a great help: amzn.to/3D5lBQT

Love it!!

Have you gone back on the birth control pill?
Thats actually a great idea.
For general communication and maybe in the future so he can actually learn some of it if he wants to.

I love you so much 🥰
THANK YOU I LOVE U
What happened to kids who were taught this 20 years ago? Where are they now?
This was so chaotic and the signs weren’t totally right, but I guess as long as you and your baby understand each other then nbd. Good job :)
My toddler communicated with signs but I think this delayed his speech as he was able to communicate without words.
So far Milo has started saying a bunch of these words verbally! I just found this useful before he could say them! He now says “more” and “all done” etc. seems very verbal!!
@@luciebfink All children are certainly different! My boy is clearly a little lazy with his speech 😅 but we did see the speech therapist and they did say that the signs he used to communicate may have delayed his speech. However, they all get there in the end 👍
Sad? Angry? Happy? Scared? Outside? Cold ? Hot?
Can you do a vid where u try Amazon products for baby
ooo love that idea!
my nephew is 12 months and he is also using sign language, his best is more but struggles with all done because it’s close to how he waves! 😂
"did you file the taxes" 😂
maybe he did file the taxes Lucy how would you know you haven't asked 🤣
Good point 😂😂
You should give him milk when he wants as he is communicating and you need to acknowledge his choice. They grow up way to fast so also enjoy him
Yeah some of these are not correct
