“My biggest dream for her is that she knows how to love people deeply”.
Yes !
1000th like ;)
She's well on her Way, her grasp of sign language at that young age is amazing.
This. It says it all. What we should *all* strive for.
@@bunkyman8097 exactly. They don't have to worry
For anyone that missed it, they have a RUclips channel called Our Signed World! They have some great content.
@Emmanuella Anyim no problem!
Thank you for that info. I will definitely follow them

I did my dissertation on hearing kids with deaf parents and their acquisition of ASL and spoken English. Baby brains are amazing! I love watching this.
I’d love to read it x
ruclips.net/video/4qEl77Yjoc8/видео.html
Article in the Journal of Speech and hearing Disorders, “The acquisition of question formation in ASL and Spoken English by hearing children of deaf parents.” Published around 1977/78.
@@idontfitgood this is an ad and has nothing to do with the ASL video.
It's bilingualism!! So great for brain development!
I’ve been learning asl my puppies respond when I sign to them. Nobody believed me until my husband signed to them and they responded.
@@tabithac5 Same
Really? Could I try to start teaching my dog to sign if she’s about three years old already? She’s smart, but I’d love to be able to do that!
😅😅 yes my dog totally understands “all done” in sign language
@@DezaRay24 Aww
Why do dogs hunch down, put their tails up and down, wiggle their ears? They are very visual animals and have brains so of course they can learn sign language.
I hope she finds a world of diverse people who care about each other.
Amen !
Very beautiful comment🥰
Your daughter has the prettiest eyes. Children are so adaptable and so smart and capable. It is nice to see you all have such a happy and loving family.
I made it a point to teach both of my children sign language. It amazing to see how much they can communicate before they ever even talk. It’s a skill both them and myself will always be able to use.
January 28th 2020 I had a middle Right Cortex stroke and developed a neurologic stutter It was hard for me to say anything but I took ASL as my second language in college and I could use ASL to communicate with my mom who knows how to sign the alphabet.
ruclips.net/video/4kGSde5NiGU/видео.html
So you can't speak
That’s why I think all hearing schools should require all kids to attend ASL classes.
Never know when your hearings dead, throat mess up or anything that make you unable to speak or hear.
@@blazeroranger , tbh if my school offered ASL classes i would definitely take it cause I do want to learn
@@lawtraf8008 they said it's hard for them to speak.
I used “baby” sign language with both of our babies. It was so helpful giving them a way to communicate their needs before their verbal language was fully developed. What a sweet family and bright, well rounded baby. We should be celebrating our differences.
What do you mean by difference? 90% of parents teach their babies.. baby sign language which is not ASL for those whom have speech or hearing disabilities.
@@tonytricollie7782 If I believed baby sign language was ASL I would have called it American Sign Language. I doubt even 5% of parents teach baby sign language. How wonderful families with different needs and abilities have a way to communicate. Go troll someone else. I saw your previous, deleted comment cussing me out and bashing me too, by the way. Choose joy.
@@WithLoveAshley - excellent response!
@@Yayita-lo3oo 😘
@@tonytricollie7782 no?
I am a hearing and speaking person, but I still taught my children to sign as babies who are not deaf because I wanted them to be able to communicate with me. I love signing because I think it's a beautiful and useful language.🤟
yea im going do the same cause ASL is truly a beautiful language
@@zionjohnson249 useful in underwater. Imagine you saw a shark in the ocean but you wanted to warn your friend but your friend doesn't understand it.
@@jeanrodriguez2078 Then you do better next time and the replacement friend gets taught the one sign, or 5 letters S H A R K. (I couldn't resist.) paragraph. Ignore the beauty of ASL, and the cuteness of the 5 yo at the Christmas show, I believe there's a study that a 6 month old who learns ASL develope mentally better than those waiting for speech. PS: xmas show mentioned is the lovely news clip of the child who has deaf parents. During the 'santa' song on stage, she is using ASL to keep her parents informed of the lyrics. Truly a joy to watch.
@@cliffontheroad What is ALS??
@@cliffontheroad well. Saying shark won't help, but you can make a sentence to warn your friend not saying shark.
Why can't they have more stories like this instead of stories on politics?
God yes !
This so fucking wholesome, Im crying. I want this kind of happiness.😭😭💞
This is so wholesome it puts tears in my eye
What a lovely family.. That baby will make this world a better place with such amazing parents already doing just that.. ❤️
This why I know American Sign Language. I was deaf when I was little. I got my hearing back. just fall in love with the language.when I was little. my family thought I was deaf. I wasn’t speaking at the time. couldn’t say no sound. I was taught sign. I had trouble with my speech. I just fell in love with the language. Ever since then. I can speak better.
ruclips.net/video/XelGgG72Qx0/видео.html
I know it's none of my business but I'm curious on how you lost your hearing and gor it back. Like were you born that way? Or did you loose your hearing as a baby? And what happened to how you got it back like did something happen to make it come back or did it start gradually? I would not be upset if you choose not to answer. Its totally your business. I'm glad that you are able to hear now though :). I plan on having my kids learn ASL (me too I know a little) I want everyone to be able to communicate with everyone!
@@Jujubee87 Probably cochlear implant? It is best way to get hearing back? With a pair of cochlear implant you could use the app " Nucleus Smart" It is really useful because you could change the volume, find it, and change the sound source.

Her parents’ dreams for her are just WOW! So beautiful.

If my newborn was deaf or blind that would suck don't have time for that.
@@SAINTxSZN That’s rude If you don’t have time for that you shouldn’t be a parent
@@SAINTxSZN Be careful of what you say. The universe might serve you a lesson. ❤
funfact: disability isn't incapability to do something but the system or society's failure to deal with your incapability. a deaf or mute person wouldn't be disabled if every1 was taught sign language. they'd just be uncapable of speaking/hearing.
exactly! before the advent of modern deaf schools and standardized sign languages, there were communities/villages around the world where both hearing and deaf people used sign language to communicate with each other. these "village sign languages" emerged because there were high rates of deafness in the community passed down through families. it was normal for hearing people to just know the local sign language. a lot of these village signs are no longer in use but it's a fascinating way people have adapted to include and accommodate everyone in their community.
@@cileft011 Martha's Vineyard is probably the most famous and best documented example in the English speaking world.
The baby is very smart.
And so cute too !
“Love values the Most”.... There's no Disabilities, Differences, Gender, and many more would stop the Humanity to show love and kindness to others.
😭😭😭 I'm loving this family already! ASL rules!!! 🤟
Yeaa im loving them already 🤟& ASL is by far one of most interesting language
@@zionjohnson249
Hi, can I ask why you think that? (Asking as someone who's interested in sign language but hasn't learnt any - yet)
Babies can sign LONG before they can talk
The fact that the mothers dream is that her daughter is an empath is beautiful.
Meghan Boudreaux, it should be the default wish frankly. america is a hateful place.
@@PHlophe The world is hateful and people are only hateful because this planet itself sucks. People blame humanity but humanity didnt choose to be here we can't blame the actions of early humans going to war they didn't know what they were doing. Many people grow up with no guidance. Some people grow up with mental disabilities. I blame whatever created us not humans. Humans barely choose anything in life our preferences are already genetically coded, our feelings, liking towards taboo things it's all genetic and if not genetic it's formed by negative abd positive emotions and experiences.
Like a 12 year old doing life in prison he didn't have a choice he was raised wrong and didn't know any better.
What a beautiful family. The wife is so in love with her husband she radiates it. I love the bond the baby has with both parents.
Smartest baby !!! I had no idea babies of that tiny age can pick up sign language!!! This proves language is a language and babies don't see the difference whether it is a spoken one or sign one. Young mind and brain are amazing!!! Love this little girl and the awesome parents ❤️❤️❤️
research it, babies at birth can mimic adult facial expressions. Obviously they have no clue what those expressions mean but they see them and copy them. It really is amazing.
@@kfl611 monkey see monkey do
How could someone dislike this?! Like, this is so wholesome and beautiful. You must be so sad and negative, anyways keep thriving and find beauty in life and appreciate it no matter how small.
Such a blessing what a sweet family ❤️
Sign language is so beautiful to me. ✨🥲
Purely precious!!! I believe all schools should have ASL from elementary all through high school and be mandatory!!! I would to learn!! I remembered back late 70-early 80svon sesame street they showed some ASL I love it. I pick it up quicker like ABCs than Spanish language
I love sign language. That's a Micracle. We all are Micracles from God. Their baby will master doing it as well as any other language she learns.
That was beautiful!💛💛💛
Hello 👋 how are you doing, hope you're having a wonderful day?
I'm having a bad day today 🙃 😪 😕 😞 😔 😒 ! This made my day!
The saddest thing I have interpreted in my 30 years is between kids who sign and parents who don’t.
Worse is the fact that this is the case the majority of the time. Most parents of deaf kids never learn enough sign to have typical parent-child interactions.
My daughter currently works in a deaf school, grades 1-6 and this is her biggest complaint and what causes her soul to ache. She worked with deaf and disabled adults prior to this and, unfortunately, found the same issues with families and group homes some lived in. The other problem is deaf children are all too often overlooked and don’t get a quality education. The world over they fall through the cracks and it’s just so sad and unnecessary.
@@remedy9648 I was a teacher of the deaf for 20+ years. I couldn't tell you how many times I saw families fail to meet their kid's needs for for their kid's entire life, then when they°re about to graduate high school they all act surprised that their kid can't go to college and is basically unemployable.
@@ak5659 that is worrisome, but do we have stats for it though.
@@ak5659 that’s absolutely disgraceful and as a mom of 3 I just can’t wrap my mind around parents who don’t do everything in their power to give their kid the best chance at a happy, independent life. It’s not as if deaf people can’t learn and do all the things hearing people can but, as I’m sure you’re painfully aware, that’s what too many think about the deaf community (and those who are challenged in other ways). Bless you for making a career of teaching the deaf and for seeing and putting up with the many challenges those parents brought your way. Let’s hope society gets our act together and realizes we need to nurture all our young, otherwise all is lost. 💜
She’s going to have Love for ALL humans bc of her mom and dad ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ her empathy and her kindness is going to Shine like the sun
Yes cvitoari Hi 👋 you 💗👶💟😇💕👼💕😇⛪ GOD 👼🙏🙏🙏🙏 you
My sister is a sign interpreter! This delights me!
Hello 👋 how are you doing, hope you're having a wonderful day?
Hello and how are you feeling today hope all's well with you and your family, I'm totally in love with you and your family . I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️😍😘🤗
May Jehovah bless and keep you safe 😷
Madison will take on the world and be just fine!!! God bless you family
I would love to know how they met. If mom knew sign language when she met dad or if he inspired her to learn .....they are beautiful family. Wonderful dad
Beautiful family and beautiful story. We NEED more of this, and other stories like this in the world today. Thank you for sharing
LOVE ASL. I worked near an ASL community, so they came into the grocery store I worked at in Colorado. I only knew some basic words, but to see the look of surprise and see these people light up, and ask me how did I know it, and me explaining I just wanted to communicate with all people, because I love learning languages, was the most heartwarming feeling ever.
THE DAD IS ADORABLE 😭
Amazing start for your child in life. I wish I would of had for thought as a young mom to have my children learn ASL or another language. It would only better them and help others.. 👍 thanks for sharing.
Both my parents were deaf...there is an magical link..I knew sign before I could speak..instinctively you know you have to communicate on another level..like my mom didnt have a babyfoon..but she knew when to come to my room..
Babies pick up sign language easy. It comes very natural to them. They are signing from newborn. I know families where the parents are deaf and the children learn sign, English and Spanish at the same time! Awesome.
Who gave this a thumbs down. My goodness people eh!
Just amazing wish them nothing but great things love deeply👌
A blessed child
Hello and how are you feeling today hope all's well with you and your family, I'm totally in love with you and your family . I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️😍😘🤗
May Jehovah bless and keep you safe 😷
This is any family who has a deaf family member? Hahhasorry this isn’t cute to me,when literally there’s tons of ppl who do this
What a beautiful girl. This video just made my day 🌹
I'm glad I learned ASL and it helped me connect to my cousin who has down syndrome
I used to work on a group home and one of my ladies is deaf . She is mentally disabled. One of her learning projects was to learn ASL . I had printed out "work sheets" to help us help her learn. She is amazing..she came to me most of the time because I signed to her all the time and did so much with her. I love ASL . I'm able to communicate with so many.
Such s sweet and beautiful family!😊😊❤❤❤
She learns so fast...a very clever lil girl..shes cute n a gem to her dad..i love her so much!
Am so sorry-
But Why does the dad sound like james Charles-
Beautiful inspiring family, gentle reminder that the world still have good people.
Who are these creeps that dislike the vid?! I mean this is beautiful 😊
I want to learn sign language... Where can I learn?
You can learn through your local community College
They did my guy wrong with the female voice over
Raising a baby this way must really stimulate their lil brains. This one’s gonna be bright.
I was just focused on the many dolls of color she has!, Love it👶🏼👶🏼👶🏽👶🏽
I Am deaf I have a cochlear implant I was born dead I also know ASL
We did baby sign with my youngest granddaughter, incredible how quickly she began speaking
Hello and how are you feeling today hope all's well with you and your family, I'm totally in love with you and your family . I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️😍😘🤗
May Jehovah bless and keep you safe 😷
what amazing wonderful loving parents. so much love and light to them !!!
What a FANTASTIC family!
Her little banana sign was funny and cute
Why is it these families are also gorgeous-looking 90% of the time?? I've barely seen a baby that pretty before in my life.
Folks this is the best video of 2021
Kissfist that! 😘👊🏽 that! Yes, I am deaf too. Love ❤️ your story. Keep up the awesome work with your daughter.
This wonderful couple is lovely. I love watching Patrick A. when he used to sign songs. Music so sweet.
They have their own youtube channel: OurSignedWorld.
Yes!!! Love their channel Our Signed World.
The love of this wonderful family came through my pc screen, this is the magic of positive vibrations traveling through out our universe.
Smartest baby I’ve ever seen
Hey guys Jesus loves you He wants you to come as you are He died for your sins past,present,and future. He was buried then rose again on the third day so you can be saved,so that you can have the free gift of Salvation.If you want God in your life just seek Him truly put your faith in Him and accept Him as your Lord and savior.It is by God’s grace you can be saved❤️‼️💝🙌🏾🤍😚
Yaaaaaay Sign Language is badass
THIS IS SOO AMAZING!!! AND YOUR BABY GIRL IS JUST ADORABLE!!! JUST PROVES HOW MUCH BABIES CAN ACTUALLY COMPREHEND...YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY... GOD BLESS YOU...AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!! :-)
Smart baby 🍼 my uncle and aunt are deaf too and they have 2 children I can understand them because I’ve been with them since I was born and there first child can talk and communicate in sign language with his parents
I am a hearing person.
I have been self-taught ASL over 10 years.
I am very sad I don't have the resources I used to, so I can communicate with friends using ASL. I would absolutely LOVE to connect with anyone deaf/HoH whom I can refresh my ASL skills with. I will also love to share some of the ASL I know with any hearing person. :)
Hi ,I am hearing, I love sign language and i learn it because i dont want deaf people to feel left out i wanna be able to communicate with them. Unfortunately i cant afford lessons so i am self teaching using internet.
PERFECT. What a splendid way to live. I'm sure her cognative stills will be way advanced, as she's communication clearly and thoroughly well before other children. Yay!!
Her parents' dream for her is Overflowing witj LOVE and UNDERSTANDING ❤❤❤ ..
We do something similar in my family too! Anytime there's a politician talking and someone is signing in the corner we know that politician is the antichrist mouthpiece.
My cousin doesn’t hear or speak and he married a girl like him that doesn’t speak or hear they have a baby boy and they had to take him early at the kindergarten because he started talking and hearing but his parents could only teach him the sign language
I pray to god that this beautiful baby girl talk too because they do have a hard time in their life if they don’t communicate verbally
Rather learn it at the College give kids the chance to learn it... kid's learn faster when they are young.
I learned in grade school & right before I graduated High School I was working at Physical Therapy & we had a deaf man we working with... I was the only one who could communicate with him.
You Never Know! 🐾😉👍🐾
I'm not deaf but I did teach my daughter some sign at the age of 6 months, I wanted to give up but I'm glad I didn't she started signing. I did it so she could communicate. She would let me know when she wanted milk banana juice!!!! I stop because now at the year of two she can talk!!!!! She knows her #'s abc's & colors!!!🥰 I'm going to watch there videos, I learn to sign a little from RUclips videos...
Yes..thank god this guy discovered ASL. It was lost ,along with the holy grail, for CENTURIES.
✝️People don’t want to accept the fact that we are horrible,miserable,sinful beings thats deserve eternal damnation in the fiery pits of hell ,and deserve to burn for all of eternity for the sin that we have committed, we deserve nothing good we don’t deserve heaven we deserve hell. But there was one man, who died 2,000 years ago, so we can have eternal life, and all you have to do to receive that eternal life is Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; repent of your sins and turn to God follow in Jesus’s footsteps, and you will inherit the kingdom of God.✝️
Romans 10:13 for "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Revelation 21:27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 6:8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Revelation 21:27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
I admire you both! I've lost my hearing (right), and now on my left! When masks had to be used, I struggled! Just wish I had taken up the language! 😪 I'm going on 74! 🌹
Sign language is awesome to use with young children bc they are able to communicate nonverbally until they are able to speak. Great for parents to interact with children!!!! Recommend this for every family
Language development in children brought up wïth sign from birth generally runs about 6 months ahead that of children brought up with spoken language.
They are moving their hands way to fast. I am impressed the kid have picked up anything at all, but if they were doing it propperly she would know more.
When teaching a baby to speak you must make it simple and slow so they catch the nuances. Always be just out of reach of their current level, forcing them to move slightly out of their comfort zone.
They hear/see enough normal talk from their surroundings, so make it simple when communicating directly to the child.
I really want to learn myself and teach my girl! It comes in handy to be able to communicate with everyone
This family is amazing! It's a perfect example of how important communication is and how, if given the right tools it can be useful..very engaging video
This is amazing. I love it. We taught our son asl signs from a baby signing book, even tho I am not fluid ASL I learned signs and would be able to tell him eat, all done, more, bath, milk, etc….and we felt he was less frustrated by not being able to talk but could still communicate. In fact he was signing milk at 4 months and talking not long after, using complete sentences by age 1. I think every family should teach basic signs to help babies learn.
Very Beautiful.
Basically that kid grows up bilingual - that's great!
What I hate about GMA is that they'll take this family's story and use it on GMA's social media and even tell us that they family is on social media but won't put the family's social accounts in their description box. It just makes it seem exploitative.
Love love love love this very much! GOD bless this adorable family! I am refreshing my ASL as much as I can for I am hearing & have deaf/hard of hearing friends. GOD bless them again!
I learned and taught my baby some basic ASL signs. It worked amazing until he could speak to me, he had a speech delay. It helped him I think that while he couldn't speak to me he could communicate what he wanted.
Im selective Mutist i learned Sign language it's a bless if you are Deaf Or Muted or Like the Psychological Disorder Selective Mutism it's great to see this family are connected so great through Sign language
Just beautiful 💕
