jillio- I agree it is the parents reposibilty to tend to the childs needs from diaper changing, to dinnertime conversations, to first dates, first cars and so on and so and so on.
Jillio - Actually what I said...yet again for you is:
I promote learning the familial language via CS and ASL from a fluent Deaf role model[/quote]
And, when you use the entire quote, it is an automatic implication that ASL can't be the familial language. So, once again, by your definition, English first.
Dinnertime is but one small point during the day. It is the parent's responsibility to tend to the child's communication needs from the child's perspective, at all points during the day, the weeks, the months, the years, and the decades.
