he watches baby einstein and loves to do the sign language. he is 2 1/2 a half and since we foundout that my husband is loosing his hearing, its kind of an interest to learn and to teach my sons sign language. do you know online or where i could go so me and my kids and husband can learn it. thankyou.
some people say let kids be kids but honestly my son is very advanced and i want him to have all opportunities
sorry in winnipeg canada
of course it would only take two second on the internet, but i would rather have hands on information. so thankyou for being so rude…
thanyou to the girl who actually made an effort to give me some information.

Well, first of all sign language is VERY good for children, and for your family it is also necessary to learn it.
You say in the city-do you mean New York City? If that is the case, there should be no trouble finding a program. First, though, just check out your local book store and/or library. There are MANY books and videos available that would be beneficial to your entire family. Look for American Sign Language (some baby sign programs use signs that are not necessarily ASL-I was sure to teach mine ASL).
Next, check any places that hold infant and toddler based programs. For instance, I know that where I live (in a much smaller setting than NYC) several of the Mommy & Me gymnastics or Kindermusic host sites also have classes/lessons for Baby Signing. Your pediatrician’s office might be another good starting point.
Call ENT or audiologists office and inquire about any programs they can point you toward.
See if there is a school for the Deaf and/or Blind. They may offer community programs or be able to point you toward some.
If there are any Community Education programs (where I live, hosted by the Parks & Recreation and/or Continuing Education through the public school district) that would be another place to look.
I hope that helps!
ive been teaching my daughter and my self asl since she was 6 months old.shes 22 months now and we are still learning.i just went to the library and check out as many books as i could and started in with the signs.honestly i never used the internet for signs though im sure there are tons of great sites that show you exactly how to do the signs.
i also goto my local community center and the library weekly for the mommy and me groups that have sing and sign classes and toddler play groups. my daughter uses signs when she talks to other children and has even taight a couple kids signs like milk,play and mama! how fun!our childrens museum has the same thing ( but i have to pay to get inso its infrequent)
its really fun to use sign language and so easy to incorperate it into life.your son will love it!he will probably pick up on it really quickly too.
good luck
