Have you ever wondered what your baby is thinking? Or why your baby is crying?
The Baby Signs® Program teaches babies to use simple, easy-to-do gestures
for communicating with their parents and caregivers. These gestures or “signs”
represent an item or concept, like “cat,” “eat,” or “all
gone.”
Using signs gives babies a way to "talk" with their parents, before they can talk.
Babies can communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their
verbal speaking skills!
Babies and toddlers often use signs as a natural part of the communication process.
Many babies know how to wave "bye-bye" or use a headshake to mean "no."
The Baby Signs® Program can help your baby use lots of other gestures to communicate
just as easily as these more common "signs."
Families who use the Baby Signs® Program know first hand that there are many benefits to using signs
with their babies. Using the Baby Signs ® Program …
- Reduces tears, tantrums, & frustration
- Allows babies to share their worlds
- Increases respect for babies
- Strengthens the parent-infant bond
- Boosts self-esteem and self-confidence
- Makes learning to talk easier
- Stimulates intellectual development
The Baby Signs® Program helps children develop both language and cognitive skills. Babies
who sign are able to develop speech sooner and long-term studies show these early skills can
translate into better grades.
The Baby Signs® Program is based on the groundbreaking research which began an international movement
to teach hearing babies to use signs. After 20 years of careful study, researchers proved that using
signs actually enhances language, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Click
