Did you know that learning to sign with your baby reduces frustration for both you and your little one? Any parent that has ever attempted to console their crying baby understands the frustration if they are unable to help their baby. For example, suppose your baby wants her favorite teddy bear but is unable to tell you this with words and is unable to point to her bear because it is not in sight. Because she has no other means to tell you what she wants, she begins to cry. So you begin to guess. Perhaps she is hungry, thirsty, has wet diapers, too cold, too warm, etc. If you finally guess that she wants her bear then you are both happy. If you never guess what she wants, you are both left extremely frustrated. But what if your baby could make the sign for bear? You would simply go and get the bear. You and your baby would then be satisfied and a great deal of wasted time and frustration would be avoided. Babies develop the gross motor skills used to sign long before they develop the fine motor skills needed for speech, so you can begin communicating with your baby as young as 6 months old using sign language!
