Baby Sign Language – How It Helps Your Baby’s Growth

Baby Sign Language Overview

Baby sign language has more developmental benefits than most people would first realize. Sign language for babies is all about the cognitive connections the exercise offers. It also helps the parent and child communicate before the first word is spoken by the baby. This article covers the high points of sign language and why it is so beneficial for you and your baby.

Growing up, my great grandmother was deaf. Her daughter, my grandmother, was lucky enough to be born with the ability to hear. However, she spent many years teaching children at a school for deaf students. Children in our family were always taught a bit of sign language growing up. Teaching babies sign language is a great way to help them express themselves. It can reduce frustration and increase communication skills. This is a great link to a website that demonstrates many popular baby signs. At Growing Brilliant, we always incorporate sing language into our Brilliant Babies classes.
