Children learning 'secret' language

 

Two-year-old Josiah Logan learned sign language before he was 10 months old, using it to tell his mother "more" or "thank you." 

 

Josiah isn't hearing impaired or deaf. The sign language helps communication between him and his mother. 

 

Darcy and Tim Logan began teaching their three children sign language at 6 months, as soon as they could wave. 

 

The Logan children -- Jonathan, 10, Benjamin, 4, and Josiah -- use American Sign Language and talk to each other. 

 

"They call it their secret language when they talk to each other," said Darcy, 35.
