Very off-putting and discouraging.<br /><br />Modeling happens naturally in all communication and should be left alone. Never should it interrupt ANY communication.Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300552006683233107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-16629281293789410192009-06-29T17:32:06.357-07:002009-06-29T17:32:06.357-07:00Thanks for posting your experiences with JTC! I...Thanks for posting your experiences with JTC! I'm so excited to go next year. I am so talkative (it's almost a disease) and it has definitely helped both my kids. Even Matt (who was speech delayed) had a huge receptive vocabulary because of my incessant need to explain everything. <br /><br />How is Miss Kat handling the oral-only environment? And how does JTC respond to any signing? Nolan is extremely oral, but also signs a little... I was wondering how they responded to the child if the child started to sign during class.leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-62650306695754117602009-06-29T13:08:35.610-07:002009-06-29T13:08:35.610-07:00Great post - very informative!

Labeling everything was very difficult at first, but is becoming a way of life. Even the rest of the children are doing it! We're becoming "noisy family!"CAUSE ME TO HEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970825831755519753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-76381447510166121422009-06-29T12:52:39.377-07:002009-06-29T12:52:39.377-07:00My mom might not agree with that, Karen Putz. She...My mom might not agree with that, Karen Putz. She has always maintained that since I was her firstborn child, she talked to me nonstop when I was a baby and "poured out all her problems" to my infant ears. I doubt I understood any of that. But since I was born hearing and had a progressive hearing loss, maybe it did make a big difference. Not to brag, honest, but my vocabulary is bigger than anyone else's in the family (including mom's), bigger than almost anyone else's, including most hearing people, and I'm a walking dictionary and thesaurus. It's kind of embarrassing. I've gotten to the point where I just keep quiet about it since it doesn't particularly endear me to people. But my mom was and still is the biggest talker I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091894993679105378.post-92107270878273020542009-06-29T11:27:16.675-07:002009-06-29T11:27:16.675-07:00Yup, the talkative (and this means in any mode/met...Yup, the talkative (and this means in any mode/method of communication) families are the ones that have kids that soar-- but an important thing to keep in mind is to make sure the kiddo understands what is being said at all times.
