[blparent] Teaching your child braille

[Gabe Vega Via Iphone4S]

I don't think this would be very productive. Or have no fruitful games to your child. It might be fun to maybe interesting to learn at first, but this is a waste of your daughters time. Please rethink his decision

I am planning to purchase twin vision books to read to my daughter when she comes and up through her early years. Because I am a blind parent I thought it would be nice to teach my daughter braille. She will most likley be sighted, but thought it would be nice to at least teach her the basics, meaning the alphabet and numbers in braille. I thought it would just be something extra she could have under her belt. My question is, have any of you taught your sighted children braille, and if so, how did you go about doing this? I learned braille with using my fingers, but because she will be sighted, I am wondering how this will work because I have heard that many sighted people read braille with their eyes. Thanks for any suggestions or advice in advance.
