Baby sign language? Isn't that just teaching babies to sign? Well, yes and no, but there is so much more. While it is similar to sign language, based on American Sign Language, there are some modifications. Babies and children learn at a quicker pace than adults and even teens, which gives babies the advantage when learning to sign. Jacqueline and Robin were interested to learn that baby sign language can help with literacy skills and improve confidence. Additionally, parents and babies report feeling less frustrated due to improving the lines of communication, leaving babies feeling less misunderstood. Baby sign language helps babies express emotions and desires before they can speak and creates closer connections within the family.
Dr. Leit shares with listeners that learning baby sign language is a fun way to communicate with infants and toddlers, using nonverbal or manual signs. Listen in, and remember baby sign language is not just for babies.
