[Jordanlbc]

I am learning BSL because I have a two and a half year old daughter who is non verbal and deaf in one ear. This way we can start to communicate with each other.

Hi Jordan,

This is a really lovely way to connect with your daughter. How is your learning going? And is your daughter learning with you or does she get taught by a teacher/specialist?

Great this is very appreciable. I personally believe learning anything new in life is our achievement, so whether we use this language or not, we should give a try learning BSL.

Hi.

My reasoning behind wanting to learn is I work with children under 5, I am a Senco and believe that as humans we are social creatures that need communication to thrive and essential apart of being apart of a community. 

I personally dislike baby sign, as it is often badly executed and would prefer BSL giving a second language given from the beginning. This would give all children a skill to except others for who they are and how they communicate, rather than seeing deaf or non verbal people as an oddity.
