Baby Sign Language - Connecting With Your Baby Before He Can Speak
Naples, Florida - May 5, 2006
Sign language isn't just for the hearing impaired anymore. The latest trend in parenting is teaching hearing babies as young as 7 months old how to use baby sign language to express themselves.
Research has proven that while babies may lack the motor skills to verbalize through speech, they do have the ability to understand and use language well before they can put their thoughts into spoken words.
Teaching your baby sign language will empower him. He will be able to communicate his wants, needs and desires to you and you will be able to fulfill his wishes without guessing. You will finally be able to tell exactly what he wants, where it hurts, and whether he is hungry or not. Baby sign language virtually eliminates the guesswork and frustration that usually goes hand in hand with caring for your baby.
Early communication is the key to a successful relationship with your baby. The lack of communication leads to misunderstanding, which causes frustration and ultimately negative behavior.
A child develops motor skills in their hands long before the motor skills required for speech are developed. An infant understands the word associated with the desire, but lacks the ability to express the desire through verbal communication. The child becomes aggravated and learns to cry as the parent simply guesses at what he needs until the temper tantrum subsides. As a result, the child learns to control the parent through a temper tantrum, and this conduct continues even after the child learns to speak. If you can teach your baby to express his desires the dreaded temper tantrum behavior will never be an issue.
Reduced crying fits and temper tantrums are not the only advantages to teach your baby sign language. There are many extraordinary benefits to signing that will increase your child\'s communication skills, including:
Accelerated communication and earlier verbal language Enhanced receptive and expressive vocabulary skills Makes learning to read easier Enhances creative ability Results in a higher IQ scores (10-12 points) Promotes a closer child/parent/caregiver bond
After reading this exciting news, many parents are skeptical - until they read the research. Once they realize that the amazing benefits of baby sign language are scientifically proven, they can\'t wait to begin.
