Teach Your Baby to Sign Before Speaking

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 12:00 pm

What I don’t learn when I’m checking out links from an ezine, and from a forum. I’ve just discovered something off topic here, but quite fascinating. (I must let my niece know, who has studied sign language). http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/infant-signing-videos.html

That site has videos where a Mom shows how she teaches her 13 month old to sign and indicate her wishes before she can speak more than a handful of words. If you have babies or small children, you will find this a great solution. It might even avoid a lot of tears and tantrums with a two year old who has intense feelings but doesn’t know the words to tell you.

A tip, just in case you need it. Or pass it on to someone who does.

    Thank you for article, but link doesn’t work. seems you have an ” ” somewhere in your code for that link. :-)
    (I placed the mouse over the link and that’s what it showed).

    Thank you again.

    ohhh, sorry you spelled it incorrectly. :-) It should be ’sign’, and not ’sing’ :-)

    Thanks again.

    Thanks for the note!
    I’ve just corrected it. Seems I had a gap after the link, and the system threw in a percent sign. The original link was copied from the browser, but I did make a typo in the visable part. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
