What is baby signing?
Baby
signing is using gestures or signs to communicate with your
baby. Many moms use American or British Sign Language when
teaching their babies to sign but it is perfectly okay to
create your own signs. The purpose of baby signing is to communicate
with your baby. Babies are able to use hand gestures much
earlier than they can communicate with words. Not being able
to communicate can be frustrating for baby and mom. Teaching
your baby signs gives her the opportunity to communicate with
you possibly months before she can actually talk.
Communicate
with baby earlier: Babies who sign can
communicate their needs sooner because they can communicate
before they are capable of talking. This is particularly
helpful for children who have speech and language
delays. Some kids do not begin talking till they are
two years old or older; therefore, baby signing gives
them a way to communicate their needs.
