Baby sign language is a great way to help you communicate with your pre-verbal baby. Baby sign language helps babies that are ready to communicate, but canβt quite bridge the gap to full speech. Imagine how your life would change if your baby could tell you when she wanted milk, when she was too hot, or if she just wanted to show you something you missed like a flower!
Baby sign language has numerous benefits. Most importantly, signing is a lot of fun and helps you bond with your child. Babies that sign are often less fussy because the baby can tell you what she wants instead of crying. Research also shows that babies that utilize sign language get a great start in life – with increased vocabularies and more advanced cognitive skills, even years after they have stopped signing.
