By Colleen Brunetti, M.Ed., C.H.C. Media is pervasive and prevalent in our society. Our job as parents and caregivers is to not only steer children away from topics and content that may not be age appropriate, but to also actively teach our children to be wise consumers of media. What your child can and should watch, and where they watch, depends a great deal on their age and maturity level, but there are some good guidelines you can follow at just about any age. WHAT TO AVOID No media in a child’s bedroom – keep media use to open family …

See why Potty Time is the #1 app for potty training

Potty Time is the #1 potty training app in iTunes and Google Play! I can tell you from experience what children love most about this app is the video call feature. Rachel Coleman, the Emmy-nominated host of Signing Time and Potty Time, can “call” your child to say “Good job!” or “Try again!” with a short video. My son and a few of his friends were potty training when the app was released and they all wanted to call Rachel after trying to use the potty. They loved it! My son is potty trained now, but he still occasionally asks if …

Spelling and Signing: How ASL helped our kids with homework

Spelling Words at our House Our first experience with using the manual alphabet with spelling was when our oldest daughter was in second grade. Her teacher was fluent in ASL and he would use signs in the classroom to enrich his teaching. Each week he would have the students practice their spelling words by using the manual alphabet to decode each one (try it now). Then they would finger spell each word. This was one of our daughter’s favorite homework assignments! When we discovered that our second daughter had a speech problem, we included the use of ASL in her …

Sing & Sign Rachel de Azevedo Coleman, Co-owner, Writer, Producer & Star When I scripted Sing & Sign I was able to give our customers a number of things they had been asking for. People often said they would like to see me sign the entire song, without the camera cutting away.
