What is baby signing?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your baby could tell you what they were thinking? If you learn to sign with your baby you can.

People have been signing with their baby for years.

Infants develop fine muscles in their hands before they develop those required for speech so they are equipped to communicate with their hands before they can speak.

Most babies will invent their own “signs” to get their meaning across. A baby may learn to wave bye-bye- these are symbolic gestures that are one form of communication used by pre verbal infants and toddlers.

It is very easy to encourage this natural communication and to expand this into the use of sign language on a daily basis with your child. Signing with babies isn’t very difficult, it has been proven to be beneficial to speech acquisition through years of research, and it is fun, inspirational, and downright amazing.

So what are you waiting for?
