Start Signing

Updated: Jul 9, 2021

We are always looking for positive ways to keep the lines of communication open and flowing between children and adults. Communicating feelings, thoughts and encounters both positive and negative helps children build a solid foundation of acknowledging their emotions. That's why we have teamed up with a Speech Therapist, Gardener Mary Kate to teach us some of our favorite words using American Sign Language (ASL). The benefits of learning sign language go beyond communicating with the deaf community, you can use this language to communicate from far distances, at a loud venue and you can even use it underwater.

According to the ASL, "sign language increases opportunities for parents and children to bond in positive ways. This can eliminate untold stress and anxiety for a child and opens pathways of greater trust and understanding in the parent-child relationship."
