Hi... It's been a LONG time since I've visited this website so I am sorry if this is a little late. LOL
I am the mother of 4 precious children and all of them KNOW sign as well as my husband who is hearing. FYI, my kids are 9, 6, 4. and 3 and I used to struggle with them sometimes when they talk without signing. As a general rule of the house, if I'm in the room, they must start signing or leave the room. LOL
Anyway, my husband and I decided to make it a game. We would set a certain time where they are not permitted to use their voice. At first, we would set it for 30 minutes daily and then gradually add more time... we still play that game almost daily and the kids seem to enjoy it.
Just play with it and see when the best time is and how much they can handle and remember, just have fun! Just throwing an idea out there...
