What are the benefits of using sign language with babies and toddlers?
Using sign language with your child can yield a number of benefits: • Makes family life easier and decreases tears because preverbal children can communicate their needs better • Allows parents to see how smart their babies really are as there is an enormous amount of cognitive activity during those critical first years • Helps babies and toddlers speak sooner because they gain vocabulary earlier • Enriches interactions with parents and can strengthen the parent-child bond • Builds a positive foundation for your child’s future emotional development by helping her express feelings in a constructive way • Boosts your child’s self esteem and self confidence
