How many times you have begged your crying
baby to“please, just tell me what is wrong,” or
joyfully watched her smile or laugh and wonder
what it is that has brought her such delight?
With baby signs you do not have to wonder any
longer. Baby signing is truly magical, as it
allows babies as young as 6-9 months old to
communicate their wants, needs, and interests.
Benefits of signing with hearing babies & children...
- Decreases crying and tantrums
- Accelerates verbal-language acquisition
- Children who sign may experience higher IQs and
read at an earlier age
- Signing leads to larger spoken vocabularies in both
toddlers and preschoolers
- Enhances parent-child bond
- Makes reading an interactive activity for babies and
young children
- By teaching a child sign language, you are teaching
them a new, real language
- Sign Language provides a window into your child's
mind
Signing Before Speaking...
Babies' control of their hands
develops much earlier than the
control of their vocal cords. In fact,
they are able to use their hands to
communicate well before they are
able to coordinate the movements of
their lips, tongue and mouth to form
recognizable words, and using their
hands/body to communicate comes
naturally to babies.
