I'm a nanny to a 3 year old boy and ever since he was an infant his parents signed with him. As a result, his speach was greatly delayed and so was his social skills. He is 3 and has the vocabulary of a 1 1/2 year old. So please be careful when teaching your child sign language. Don't make it the primary form of communication.
