Baby Sign Language: The Advantages of Teaching Your Baby Sign Language

Baby Sign Language

Did you know that many parents teach their babies sign language from six months of age? Babies are capable of learning sign language way before they are able to speak. If parents make it a fun experience for baby and start with needs based words, then this can avoid a lot of frustration for baby and mother.

There are many advantages of having your baby know sign language. One of them is that he can communicate his wants and needs to his mum and dad, grandparents, or other caregivers who know the language. There are many times that mothers are unsure what baby wants. This can eliminate a great deal of frustration.

Another advantage is that your child could possibly end up with a much higher IQ. To begin to understand language, as early as six months of age, will be great stimulation for your babies brain. The ability to start to learn to control some aspects of his environment, will also offer a great advantage to your baby.

Many toddlers have tantrums because of their inability to explain and have their needs met. A toddler who has an understanding of sign language can easily have their needs met, without having to resort to a tantrum.

The child who knows how to sign will have a much earlier understanding of the English language. This can be a great advantage for them for their future. It could also be a great advantage for him if he would like to learn other languages. As you can see there are many advantages to learning baby sign language.
