Baby Sign Language: I Want to Know Everything My Child is Thinking

Baby Sign Language

Nowadays, parents are very innovative in the many different ways they teach their children. Parents will give anything just to understand and communicate with their babies. One of the ways they are doing this is by using a baby sign language DVD.

Parents believe that watching these lessons on TV will help improve their child's intelligence level. Basic sign language will also allow toddlers to communicate with mom and dad. Many professionals believe that babies should not be allowed to watch TV until they reach age two.

Sign language is natural for babies; it's like second nature. Sign language is like speaking to adults. Hence, the "effort" to teach babies is actually no effort at all.

Their ability to learn just by watching is amazing. Children pick up all kinds of things at a very young age, but the key is working with them long term so that they can retain the information.

If parents then decide to choose a baby sign language DVD, be wary because your child may experience speech delay. Also, bear in mind that the videos cannot provide the whole picture to a child.

This means that babies need tangible explanations of what the sign mean before the baby can give a sign with meaning. They might be able to do the actual signing, but not really understand the meaning behind most of them.

The pricing of the DVDs can range depending on the quality and the author. The DVDs generally run between $25-$50 depending on which brand you choose. Be aware that you may have to buy several of them to create a whole training course.

For other people, these videos are not necessary because this kind of learning happens naturally. If you are really determined to use a baby sign language DVD, don't expect them to work wonders on your child because it does take some effort from you as parent.

Children get excited about learning new things, but as a parent I had to get involved and be there to encourage them. Just putting these DVDs in did teach my child some signs, but not the meanings behind those signs.
