Theme Sign language at home

Families tell

"We often have the computer turned on: the archives of the Handtheater has lots of fun things for the children."
"I do think signing at home is going to be important to Fabian."
"I sing Fabian a lullaby using signs, and I noticed that helped me learn signs as well."
"Those Lotte & Max DVDs are amazing, for both parents and children. They help you learn really quickly."
"Signing has gotten better over the years."
"Guus sometimes helps Sam if he doesn't sign something correctly."

Adults tell

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

Experts tell

Do children learn sign language if their parents use Sign-supported Dutch?
"My children know they have to use sign language with me."
Should you even want to learn to sign as a parent, or can your child learn from other deaf people as well?
