Research has shown that a babies brain develops much faster than their vocabulary.  Babies know what they want and when they want it – well before they are actually able to ask for it!


Wouldn’t it be great if your baby could let you know when they were;- Hungry, Thirsty, Tired or Cold? Well it is actually possible if you & your baby learn some simple Sign Language.


 

 There are many advantages to using Sign Language with your baby.  Many recent studies have been carried out on Babies that Sign, and just some of the benefits are listed below;-

 

 

 

Infants taught sign language:

  • Can communicate wants and needs to their caregivers at an early age

  • Will have an earlier understanding of the English language

  • May learn to speak earlier

  • Could have an above-average ability later in life to learn a new language

  • May possibly have a higher I.Q.

Parents who sign with their baby may experience:

  • Lower frustration levels (for both parent and baby) because the baby can communicate with you

  • Deeper bonding with their baby because they have greater insight into their baby’s mind

  • A higher level of trust from their baby because he or she knows that you understand what he or she is trying to tell you

  • Satisfaction. What a great feeling it is to know that you can effectively communicate with your pre-verbal infant


 

Baby Sign Language Benefits

 

  • Signing reduces frustration for you and your baby

  • Your baby will experience less tears & tantrums, as a result of less frustration

  • Signing will not delay speech and language development – it will actually enhance and accelerate it!

  • Signing can help you as a parent;-
    - To know what your baby does or does not like
    - To let you know when your baby is tired
    - To let you know when your baby is hungry or thirsty
    - To help you Identify if your baby is injured or in pain
    - To allow your baby to communicate using simple signs (drink, more, eat, get & MORE))

  • You will spend less time playing ‘the guessing game’ trying to work out what your baby actually wants.

  • Your baby or child will be happier if they are able to communicate their thoughts & desires

  • Your baby will gain a higher self esteem and level of confidence


Many people think that babies that are taught sign language will be slower to learn to talk – however this is definitely not the case. The opposite is actually true! Studies have shown that a baby that is taught to sign will be more motivated and want to speak sooner than a baby or child that has never communicated before.
