Welcome Future Baby Signers

Baby Sign Language has been getting some great reviews and is becoming increasingly popular with new parents. It’s big in America and is growing in popularity in the UK and Australia; in fact parents worldwide are discovering the benefits of using Baby Sign Language.

So what’s Baby Sign Language all about?

Baby Sign Language or (Baby Sign) is the method of using sign language to communicate with babies before they can talk. Sign language has always been used within the Deaf community for communicating with babies and children, but recent research has highlighted the benefits of using sign language with hearing babies as a means of early communication. Babies develop motor skills earlier than speech; this is a basic biological fact. So it makes sense that a baby would be able to sign before it could speak. In general babies can sign by about 7-8 months old as this is when the memory is developed enough to store and use the signs. This is well before comprehendible speech which can start from about 12-18 months.
