Hello there community! I am a hearing parent of a deaf child.
We've been working with our daughter on our sign language skills since she was 11 months old, and we have more or less progressed at the same rate as her. Best we can tell on campus we seem to be at sort of a children's level of signing, although some of those children definitely out-sign us, too!
I recently was considering my relationships with deaf teachers, and wondering to myself why I always get along with deaf teachers better than I do with hearing teachers. Has any other parents had this experience?
Here's a link to the blog article I wrote about it

Read it if you like, but what I really am interested in is feedback from other parents. I realize this might not be the right place to ask this question, but it was the first place that came to mind. o_O
