A Baby’s Readiness For Sign Language
You’ll need to recognize the signs of baby being ready to learn before you get started with your teaching. You don’t want to rush your child, but let them reveal to you when they are ready to begin. For one thing, the younger the baby is, the less developed their motor skills will be, so even if they were to recognize the signs, they wouldn’t be able to reproduce them. So wait until your child’s own signals let you know they are ready to learn baby sign language.
You will observe particular body language signs that will give you a good indication. These likely won’t start to show in a significant way until the child is at least six months old or more. Many of them indicate that the baby is developing an interest in communicating. So for example, they might begin pointing things out to you. You don’t know what they’re trying to say exactly, but it’s obvious they want you to notice. They may make other gestures, like shaking or nodding their head “no” or “yes,” or starting to wave “bye bye.” This sort of clear interest in communicating is a good indication it’s time for teaching baby sign language.
Once you know your child is ready and it’s time to begin, the signs of baby sign language are not that hard to pick up. While you’re waiting for the right time to start teaching baby signing, you can pick up the various books, videos, flash cards and other tools you will want to use. At the website, www.babysigns.com you will find an extensive collection of such tools, and you can check with other websites like www.signbabies.com as well. If you allow your baby time to grow up just enough to understand what you want to teach, then the two of you will finally enjoy your new form of communication, and the baby should learn these new skills quite readily.
