In this video, practice the signs for MOTHER, FATHER, DAUGHTER, SON, SISTER, BROTHER, and so on. You'll notice that female signs tend to be signed at chin-level, and male signs at the temple/forehead. You may see some variation in these signs, particularly with respect to starting handshape (given the compound sign history explained in the video). Timestamps to find each sign are below, and next family videos to come for extended family in the next few weeks :) Happy Holidays!
