Baby Signs
Baby Signs have been used by parents to communicate with their baby before they can talk for over 30 years.
This method of communication allows the parent to enjoy two way conversations about the babies needs and wants much earlier than would naturally be afforded. Communicating with baby sign language is very easy to introduce into your home. After all, the baby signs have been developed specifically to be easy enough for a 6 month old baby to do, it can’t be that difficult!
When you are just starting out signing with your baby, you should begin with a few easy to remember signs. These signs are simple gestures that are both easy to perform and remember. The most relevant sign to begin with is the sign for ‘milk’, because this is something that is in high demand by the baby at this age. It is also very rewarding for the baby when they get what they asked for because at this age, milk is also one of their favorite comforts.
Signing for ‘milk’ is really easy. The sign can be performed with one hand or two hands, it doesn’t really matter. You perform the sign for milk by opening and closing your hand, as if milking a cow. The signs used in baby sign language are very symbolic. This makes them much easier to understand. Each sign represents a natural gesture that you would probably do without even knowing any sign language. This is why it is so easy to learn and remember.
Using baby signing with your baby or toddler can help you to communicate with them while they are first learning to talk. Many babies are able to use this early form of communication well before they can speak any words at all. This can reduce the frustration they would normally feel when they are pointing and trying to be understood without words. The comprehension of the baby signs is also enhanced because it re-enforces the meaning of the words from a very early age.
