    Hearing Parents

    My son is getting close to 2. Are terrible twos really bad with a deaf child, or about the same. He's started closing his eyes when he doesn't want to see me sign, ("No" or "Stop") is this part of rebeling already? It's funny now, but I try not to laugh 'cause I don't want him to think that...

    Teaching Signing to Toddlers Before They Can Speak May Be Very Harmful

    I think that learning sign as a bay is a good thing. A friend of mine is teachiing her hearing daughter Sign. Even though she can talk (and does a lotof it sometimes) she's learing sign kind of as a second language. I think it's a beautiful thing. As her daughter and my son grow older they...

    Cochlear Implants are only for people who never had hearing
