Honestly there should be classes in schools for ASL. I would have love to learn and actually carry a conversation, it’s honestly so cool❤️ I myself am actually learning basic ASL and using common words at work to sign to my co worker

I'm taking ASL at my highschool this year! There are a few schools with ASL as a language class option, but it should be available everywhere imo! It's a really fun class and very immersive, especially for hands-on (pun intended) learners like myself!

I am not deaf, but teaching my son to sign was the best decision ever. He was the best baby because he could communicate his needs.

Every child should learn ASL in the states. It helps the child to be more observant and aware of what’s going on around them, even if they are hearing. Not to mention, that it’s a necessary language skill to have, as deaf/hard of hearing people exist everywhere.

@@Sedonawhite That's because you don't know it. You're clearly an ableist with something against the deaf community, if your Eugenics comment is anything to go by. Most people who are deaf, or in some way disabled, are born to hearing and able-bodied parents. The majority of deaf parents have hearing children. It isn't something we have any control over. If they decide on their own to risk it, knowing that they have the resources to handle and properly raise a deaf child, then it is no different from anyone else choosing to have a child. Any child may be born with a disability, or develop one later. That's something you prepare and watch out for as a parent. Being deaf or having a disability does not mean that someone is worthless.

I do believe asl is specifically for Americans. Sign language is different in different languages just as regular spoken language is.

@@sevenmillionhobbies7840 absolutely. I’m in Europe, in a German speaking country, and my ASL skills are useless. But I have taught my half American hearing child ASL. We used it to communicate during COVID times, as parents had to stand outside during the swim classes. Or we just use it to talk in secretive way.

We’re a heating family but both my babies learned “milk”, ”more”, and “finished”. Just those 3 words made life so much easier when they couldn’t speak. It’s amazing to see how smart your infant is.

In my opinion this question should not have been asked: Why do you want to have deaf kids??? Really?!! These deaf parents are so loving with there children, there children look so happy and are well cared for by both parents. Plus Mom is teaching her children sign language. So many parents or Moms out in this world that don't care of there children and so even sadly kill there children. Kudos and blessings to this family!! I could see the love between these parents, siblings and couple. These parents are doing a fantastic job!!

My daughter isn't deaf, but I started signing to her at 2 months old. She finally signed back milk at 8 months old. Before she was born, I read a sign language book that had common signs used for babies and kids. I believe that helped my daughter as she went on to learn about 50 signs over the next 2 years. We have since forgotten most of them as she is 9 now but I feel it helped her to communicate well because people said when she first started speaking she spoke very well and effectively communicated. It's definitely worth doing even if your child isn't deaf. I enjoyed learning about it and teaching my daughter. Awesome to see this video.

That is so heartwarming. The happiness and warmth!

God bless this family.

This is beautiful! Praying you and your family continue to find a wealth of blessings. Deafness in a hearing world is complicated, but your children have the blessing of parents who can not only connect with them on their level, but help them learn how to navigate as they mature and grow.

My daughter asks why not offer ASL too just like Spanish or French classes? I agree that schools should offer ASL classes to students and let them decide.

Great family may God bless and protect them.

Such a sweet family. I am hearing and I am teaching my hearing daughter some sign language. It really benefits us both. I taught her the sign for milk and she has been doing it since 7mo. Mostly though it’s me doing it and her getting excited because she seems to understand what it means. I’m also trying to teach her other small signs like mama, dada, more, food, etc.

The kids will have amazing hand eye coordination.

Lovely ☺ "I can feel your laugh" was heart warming..🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful family

This is an absolutely beautiful family! I praise how they're teaching their children (and others!) acceptance while also spreading positivity. I can't hold a conversation, but I do know several phrases in ASL (and other languages) because I feel it's important to have at least some type of communication. Wish their family nothing but health and happiness! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🦻💞😁

Blessings for all of them

Perfect 🥰!

I’m not deaf (hard of hearing) nor are my children. I teach them sign language. I watch baby signing time with them. My 14th month old can communicate so well because she uses signing and speaking.

I think it's important to teach your children how to sign even if they aren't deaf. Not only does it make it easier for them to communicate their needs but I'm sure they'll come across people in their lives that are deaf. It'd be great for them to be able to carry conversation.

what beautiful blessing family that's awesome use ASL helps with communication I have sign to my boy's when they are babies in sign language it makes me happy when they Learn it too they are both hearing as well I'm hard of hearing myself born with it i learn little bit sign language growing up but my parents wanted me use my voice as well Thanks sharing video !

I always find it interesting that deaf people always the the action when they speak

My best folks 😍😍😍

Amazing🥰

What a beautiful family!! 😭 I was thinking of learning ASL (and possibly other forms!) Would love to communicate with those that are deaf or hard of hearing.

Now that’s some neighbors with kids that i can get on board with.

Lovely 😍

I'm hearing, but I learned ASL as my first language. i wholeheartedly recommend teaching it to your babies before they're able to speak. very quickly, I realized that it was much better and more useful than crying. this is advantageous, for obvious reasons. let's just say I hope your kids are smarter than me about it, though. one time, I was around 18 months old, and I was watching TV. i was alone in the room, but my father was poking his head in the door every few minutes to check on me. i was sitting in a little child-sized chair, which tipped backwards on two legs and leaned against the surface behind it. the logical thing to do to remedy the situation is cry. call someone. but signing is just so much more effective than crying! surely it'll help me here! and that's how my father glanced into the room and saw me, looking very unhappy, sitting in a chair that was leaning on two legs... while signing "help, help, help".

I truly believe sign language should be a universal thing so no matter we we go in the world all humans can understand eachother. I know there’s different types but there should also be one worldwide thing too

Im hearing but I have dreamed of having deaf friend being fluent in sign such a beautiful world I live in small town there is not many deaf to mingle with beautiful video beautiful folks

Cute!

Should be shown to all parents of Deaf babies!

Wow.

Wow 💙💜💚

My husband and I know a little sign language. He has misophonia and it helps when we need it quiet in the house. I am mildly hard of hearing so it helps me too. I’m hoping to raise bilingual children, but we need to learn a lot more to get there.

So precious. ❤
