Baby Sign Language for Hearing Babies and Toddlers

Would like to find a better way to communicate with your little one that doesn’t involve crying, tantrums and screaming?

Simple Baby Sign Language can help your baby tell you what they want and when they want it.

Communicating with your baby or toddler using Baby Sign Language is one of the most rewarding experiences of being a parent.

Babies that are understood feel more relaxed and secure. Many parents report that babies who use baby signing cry less often, making parenting easier and less stressful. Understanding your baby in those early months and years means you can respond to their needs without second guessing what they need.

In the very early months, your baby’s needs are very simple. They want to be fed, changed, played with or put to bed. Our baby sign language program caters for these basic needs by teaching the signs for these most basic needs first.

As your baby develops and grows, they begin learning at a rapid rate. In conjunction with child development experts, Toddler Interpreter has specifically designed the first baby sign language program to match your baby’s natural communication development. With Toddler Interpreter there is no guessing where to start or what to teach next.

Our Toddler Interpreter program encourages speech development, providing visual cues for keywords that are easy for the baby to remember and relevant to their daily routines. The signs are taught in the same order as they would naturally learn to speak the words. This also helps your baby to learn the comprehension of the spoken word at an accelerated rate.

Communication is a key part of your baby’s social development and you can help this process immensely with very little effort. By teaching baby sign language you will be giving your baby a great foundation for learning at a very early age, much earlier than if you waited until they could speak. Baby Sign Language gives you an opportunity to communicate with your baby before they can talk. Your baby knows exactly what they want and need at around 6 months of age; however it can be a further one to two years, sometimes even longer before they are able to tell you in words. Baby signing bridges this communication gap.

Baby Sign Language also offers many opportunities for fun and enjoyment. Watching your baby do their first baby sign is as exciting as their first steps and their first words. Your baby grows and learns so much in these first few precious years and Baby Sign Language allows you to share every moment and new experience and share in each other’s interests, likes and dislikes.

Baby Sign Language is so easy to learn and remember and we provide you with simple instructions on how to get started. There is no need to know sign language to learn our baby sign language, after all it is intended to be easy enough for a small baby to do and remember.

There is no right or wrong time to start teaching baby sign language; your baby will enjoy the benefits of enhanced communication whether they are 6 months old or 30 months old. Don’t delay, teaching these simple baby sign language gestures can help you to avoid the frustration of the pre-verbal years, the sooner you start, the better off you will be. You can avoid worrying about those terrible tantrums, your baby will be able to tell you exactly what they want and when they want it. No more guessing games that end in tears.

Imagine if your baby could tell you that he was hungry by putting his fingers to his lips, or that he was tired by putting his hand to his head. Baby Sign Language provides a way for your baby to communicate instead of crying, but it is also a great deal of fun, an adorable way to interact with your little one and can provide a great insight to your babies developing personality.

The first stage of learning baby sign language is where they understand you. This can begin as early as 4 months – much earlier than most people get a chance to have a understanding and proper communication with their little one. This continues on and builds until they have the ability to copy the signs and do them with you. At this stage they will do the sign back to you, or at least acknowledge that they understand your words and signs.

Sign Language for Babies

Posted on May 16, 2010 by admin Comments (1)

Sign Language for Babies involves the use of gestures to communicate with your baby while they are very young.

It all begins when they are very little by using some simple hand signals. These hand signals are universal meaning that they are the same in every language worldwide. These hand signals are often natural gestures that we use every day without realizing it. Many people begin learning sign language for babies only to discover that they naturally started this process without even knowing it. This process is just added to with some additional gestures through our Baby Sign Language program.

Communication involves the spoken word but much of what we say is also communicated through our body language. Using baby signing teaches the baby that there is more to communication than just words. It is really important that the sign is used with the word, signing does not replace the need for words, rather it compliments them perfectly. As you progress with your signing, it becomes a natural process that is used without thinking. It isn’t very difficult to get to this stage as the signs are easy to remember but also very natural hand gestures.  

Babies are fascinated with their parents and are naturally attracted to movement. Many think that they need to wait until the baby is nineSign Language for Babies months old to begin sign language however our personal experience was that our baby understood what we signed to her from about 4-5 months. This provided us with much enjoyment of course but it was also really practical. At this very young age there is little chance that she would have understood the spoken word for things like ‘milk’ ‘more’ and ‘sleep’. However, the use of these baby signs allowed her to understand us. When she woke in the morning, we would sign to her that we were making her a milk bottle and she would be both relieved and excited that we knew what she needed.

There is about a 5 month period where the baby understands your signs but can’t sign back yet, and this is when we found sign language to be very beneficial. From about 9-10 months of age she has started to sign back to us. No matter how in tune you are with your babies routine, there will always be a time when you need a little reminder that it is ‘milk’ time, and there is no doubt with her little hand opening and closing at us that she knows exactly what she wants. Sign language for babies can be a wonderful way to communicate with your baby and it brings many opportunities for two way conversations and shared experiences.
