Our kids just don't "get it" and I get so irritated with people who ask us if we're teaching them sign language and then act like we're inferior parents because we didn't.

We heard wonderful things about Signing Time and Baby Signing Time (www.signingtime.com). My boys were immediately addicted to them. It is the one TV program that I don't mind them watching over and over again. We had two strikes against us. They are triplets, so they tend to have their own language, and they were born 13 weeks premature. Sign language gave my children a way to express their wants and needs and cut out a lot of the frustrations. One of their favorite volumes was ABCs (Vol. 5-Series 1). They learned their alphabet quite fast, in sign language and verbally. At two years of age they knew their letters, upper case and lower case, as well as their numbers to 20. They just recently turned three and they are talking more and more with clarity. They still use their sign language on a daily basis. Sign language is considered a foreign language in schools in many states now. I will continue to teach my kids as much sign language as I know and can learn. I wish I had learned sign language as a second language when I was a child. I have used sign language with my triplet boys since they were one year old.
