My oldest uses it alot, but he's also taking sign language classes (it's considered a foreign language for home schooling) and the baby signs all the time telling us what she wants. It's so much nicer than the "uh, uh" and whining that they want something, but can't tell you what it is they want. If you really want him to learn sign language, persistence is the key. One day it will just click with him! All 3 of mine have been taught sign language since they were babies.
