Baby Sign

Baby Sign involves using sign language to communicate with babies and toddlers.

Children of an early age have a will, but cannot communicate their needs or wishes clearly, which often leads to frustration and tantrums. By using signs for often used words such as "eat". "sleep", "more", "play", the children can learn to express their needs before they are able to talk.

Use of Baby Sign is growing, but it is still not used that widely. This may be due to parents not knowing what signs to use, or the fear that their children will not learn to speak properly, or early. Some parents also feel that they don't have enough time to teach their baby sign language, even though they have the intention to do so.
