I'm oscillating between overwhelming joy and crushing anxiety. I'm not sure what type of world I'll be bringing this child into, but I'm still deeply excited.
Does anyone have resources on parenting books by communists? I'm anxious and I want to feel like I'm doing something, but I don't want a parenting book written by some consultant fuck, if I can avoid it.
Advice: learn ASL. Kids can sign before they can speak. if you teach them to sign for food, hungry, water, milk, etc they’ll tell you exactly what they want. it’s also adorable to see your kid sign mommy and dadda.
Okay, thank you. I will look into this.
Seconded.
There's not exactly a wealth of evidence backing that claim up, but it definitely doesn't hurt to teach a little sign language as well and do it very early.
Yes! It's fun and you really only have to know like 5 or 6 basic signs to have good early communication
