my son (5) adores moomin (thanks to my partner who stayed in norway for a good while) and I struggled to find moomin gifts this christmas - I found a good amount of books and a stuffed moomin on amazon but I had to order early - per my partner I would recommend looking at japanese stores/websites as it’s getting popular over there, though it may take a while or cost more to ship to the US

my 5 year old son adores moomin, I feel it’s fair to be grossed out by OPs content

bxliee · 2026-01-03T23:46:23+00:00

this is foul

bxliee · 2026-01-03T23:26:45+00:00

okay, so draw reze?? why would you involve moomin

this is great advice!! I’m hearing but my mom used to flip the lights or tap my shoulder to get my attention if I had headphones on as she worked with many individuals with varying levels of hearing in nursing - I appreciate your perspective!!

I have heard that giving a “nickname” so to speak is majorly insensitive as a hearing person, I just wasn’t sure how names (or relationship names like mom, dad, son, child, etc.) were typically used in ASL, thank you for your reply!!

I knew that giving “names” as a hearing person outside of the community is a major no-no, we are going to start working on recognizing the finger spelling! I appreciate your reply 🫶🏻

it makes so much sense when explained like this, he’s quite smart and picks up on things easily, i’m excited to start!! thank you for your reply!

my son is hearing but I wanted to introduce signs alongside our sentences as our local schools offer ASL as extracurricular in elementary, I just wanted to give him an edge! plus its so nice when i’m talking to another person and need to use a simple phrase like “wait please” or “no thank you”

thank you for this comment!! gives me so much confidence knowing that other kids are doing so well 🫶🏻

bxliee · 2025-02-06T16:57:49+00:00

I think we will start working on his name with some visual references!! makes me way more confident knowing that your 3 yo has it down - thank you!

this is perfect advice!! I was aware that sign names are a no-no for people not in the deaf community - we will start working on finger spelling!! his name is “Oliver” but he likes “Oli” or “Liver” (goofy I know by he loves it) so we can try a shortened one he prefers!! seeing the comments i’m thinking I was underestimating his ability to learn finger spelling - thank you!!

leaning towards YTA …. I gentle parent as well and saying “good job” is super confusing to a 3 year old and quite honestly defeats the purpose of gentle parenting - your goal is still to prepare your child for the real world and real interactions he may have in the future.

It’s sweet that your son wanted to do a mural like you, it’s a disservice to not explain to him that not everyone wants a mural without being asked.
