Sign language at home

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"They can really babble together in sign language."

"Signing has gotten better over the years."

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

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