How do you sign “Parents” in ASL?
PARENTS: PARENTS in American Sign Language (ASL) names a mother and father together. The video and animated demonstration below show the sign.
Where does PARENTS come up in conversation?
PARENTS earns its use in introductions and biography: where your parents live, what they do, whether they sign. For students with Deaf parents or Deaf children the word carries particular weight, since parent-child signing is where ASL lives at home.
It appears in Lesson 25 of Book 1 with the core family set.
