When it comes to parenting, there is a long list of challenges and struggles that most parents will face at some point in their lives. Fortunately, there is also a very long list of everything parents can look forward to when it comes to raising their children. From picking out their names to teaching them how to walk and talk, it’s exciting to see tiny tots learn and grow as the years go by.

A father by the name of Zachary is deaf, while his wife named Courtney and their daughter named Madison are both hearing. They have a few popular social media accounts under the name OurSignedWorld. The parents strive to teach their young daughter how to communicate, specifically through sign language.

In November 2021, Zachary was met with an amazing surprise while he was out shopping with his daughter. It seemed like the young girl wanted to communicate with him and knew that it would be best for her to try using sign language. It’s something that she is still learning, but it looks like she’s already getting the hang of it.

Unexpectedly, Madison communicated with her father by attempting to interpret something for him for the first time. She did her best to use the right sign, and Zachary was able to recognize it. It was an emotional moment for the pair as they were able to truly connect with each other. A video of the heartwarming moment has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms, inspiring people from all over the world.

Under the username OurSignedWorld, Zachary, Courtney and Madison have gained many followers on their YouTube and TikTok accounts by using their platform to share their story with others. According to their YouTube bio, Zachary is deaf while Courtney and Madison are both hearing. They use sign language to communicate as a family, while Courtney and her daughter also use spoken English.

In November 2021, the family shared a video on TikTok of a heartwarming moment Zachary and Madison shared together while they were out shopping one day. “This was a WOW moment,” the parents wrote in the caption of the now-viral TikTok video.

Zachary put closed captions in the video, explaining, “I’m deaf and my daughter is hearing. This is the first time she tried interpreting for me.” Using sign language, Madison communicated with her dad that there was a crying baby nearby, which could be heard in the background of the video. Zachary continued, “She dropped what was in her hands, signed ‘baby crying’ and pointed! Wow!!!”

It was a beautiful moment between the pair, and it’s clear that many people were just as moved by Madison’s heartfelt actions as her parents were. The video has since gone on to be viewed more than 800,000 times on YouTube and more than 32.9 million times on TikTok. 

One TikTok user commented, “Wow! She not only signed what she was hearing, she recognized  that you couldn’t hear it also. Incredible.” Another user said, “Wow! It’s amazing how smart and perceptive kids can be.” A third person wrote, “What an empathetic and beautiful heart she has!”
