Was it hard for you to learn sign? How long did it take you to teach your child?

My 2 year old has been having hearing troubles for the past year which has made it difficult for him to hear and pick up on language. Since he is 2 and can’t communicate with us, we are trying to learn sign so we can help him express what he wants. He has picked up on it pretty well so far, he is able to sign more, please, help, drink, candy all within a period of a month, so I am really glad that we’ll be able to help, but I was wondering how hard it was for you to learn yourself and teach your child how to learn sign language. I’m not sure how I should be teaching him either…should I be saying “do you want to eat?” or just “eat”. Or “Let’s go to bed” or just ‘bed’? Any advice would be great if you have any expierence in the matter.

Thanks!

  1. I know a bit of sign language and at first it is hard, but then it gets easier and easier if he is around the surroundings of sign language then it should be easy for him to pick up, like a baby learning to talk.

    Good luck ~x~
