8 (oh, so delicious reasons) You Should Teach Your Baby Sign Language:
- Improved communication — your baby will be able to tell you what they want without crying, whining or tantrums.
- You will both be happier and less frustrated — addressing needs quickly keeps mom AND baby from loosing their marbles.
- You are setting the foundation for a strong healthy relationship — early communication gives your child confidence & a unique connection with you.
- You will boost your child’s confidence & self-esteem — children feel more secure when they feel heard & understood.
- Your child will develop a larger vocabulary — signing children typically develop larger spoken vocabularies once they start talking.
- You will raise a smarter baby — this one might not be as important – but it’s true! Signing children often have higher IQ’s.
- Jump start speech — This one is my favourite!! Signing children typically speak sooner then non-signing children.
- And best of all... signing makes parenting easier and a lot more fun!
