Sign language at home

"Those Lotte & Max DVDs are amazing, for both parents and children. They help you learn really quickly."

"We often have the computer turned on: the archives of the Handtheater has lots of fun things for the children."

"Guus sometimes helps Sam if he doesn't sign something correctly."

"My children know they have to use sign language with me."

"Signing has gotten better over the years."

Do children learn sign language if their parents use Sign-supported Dutch?

Should you even want to learn to sign as a parent, or can your child learn from other deaf people as well?

"If I don't know a certain sign, I ask my son."

"They can really babble together in sign language."

"My parents thought it was important to eat together and talk together."

"I do think signing at home is going to be important to Fabian."
