What should we do when child is not intrested in ASL.We are learning ASL but my son ignores them
Keep exposing and immersing him with the language. Are you using ASL only with him or with the whole family? Also, many deaf kids may appear not to be paying attention, but they are. Language cannot be forced, but acquired incidentally.

Kristina, if you sign, they will have to learn. The kids will want you to feed them and take care of them. lol
Yes, hearing kids do that, too. My grandson, who is hearing, seemed to take forever to start talking. Then, one day, he started speaking sentences. He skipped over the using individual words stage, and just started speaking in sentences. It's almost like he didn't start speaking until he had something to say....
He watch this and then stands up and try to make ALL signs all together, while moving his mouth like singing! He wants to start from the end... Sentences. There are also hearing kids that do that, so I guess it's ok... kids, deaf or not....
