A First Guide to Baby Signing

Katie Mayne

from Amazing Baby/Templar Publ.

 

"Talk with your baby before baby can talk with you." baby-signing: a complete guide is an innovative addition to the successful Amazing Baby range of books.

 

Amazing Baby and TinytalkUK believe that language helps us to make sense of our world. Babies understand so much before they can talk.

 

Reading books together and using sign language encourages early word play - babies that understand and are understood are happy babies!

 

Sign language provides a way for babies to tell others what they want and what they are thinking about.

A lovely board book to read aloud with your baby.

Specialised sign language is sometimes used to communicate with infants and toddlers.

 

While infants and toddlers have a desire to communicate their needs and wishes, they lack the ability to do so clearly because the production of speech lags behind cognitive ability in the first months and years of life.

 

Proponents of baby sign language say that this gap between desire to communicate and ability often leads to frustration and tantrums.

 

However, since hand–eye coordination develops sooner than acquisition of verbal skills, infants can learn simple signs for common words such as "eat", "sleep", "more", "hug", "play", "cookie", "teddy bear", before they are able to produce understandable speech.

 

It is claimed the benefits of sign are...

 

larger expressive and receptive spoken language vocabularies;


more advanced mental development;


a reduction in problematic behaviours like tantrums

resulting from frustration;


improved parent–child relationships.
