Do you want to know what’s your baby is thinking or talking? When Angie, my daughter, was a bit over one year old, she was saying “bowowo” one day. I am glad that she was also signing butterfly at the same time. Without the sign, I would never understand what she was trying to tell me. It’s such a wonderful experience to be able to understand what’s your baby is trying to tell you and share their world with you.
The Baby Signs® Program teaches babies to use simple, easy-to-do gestures for communicating with their parents and caregivers. These gestures or “signs” represent an item or concept, like “cat,” “eat,” or “all done.”
Using signs gives babies a way to "communicate" with their parents, before they can talk. Babies want to communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills!
Babies and toddlers often use signs as a natural part of the communication process. Many babies know how to wave "bye-bye" or use a headshake to mean "no." The Baby Signs® Program can help your baby use lots of other gestures to communicate just as easily as these more common "signs."
About the Baby Signs® Program
The Baby Signs® Program helps children develop both language and cognitive skills. Studies show that babies who sign actually develop speech sooner and have larger vocabularies when they do start talking.
The Baby Signs® Program is based on the groundbreaking research which began an international movement to teach hearing babies to use signs. After 20 years of careful study, researchers proved that using signs actually enhances language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.
