Parents have always wanted to be able to communicate with
their children right from birth. Their feelings of helplessness in times of
crisis or stress can be very frustrating. Do not despair or panic. There is
now baby sign language.
The early communication techniques between parents and
their babies are very difficult at the beginning for both parties. Babies
are not able to tell what they want and neither to ask for something that
would make them feel better. Parents are hence very stressed and concerned
about their babies' needs, especially at the early age of nursery. For this
reason experts have come up with an effective idea that is meant to ease the
first stage of communication between new parents and their little children.
Many of us don't really think about how intelligent our
babies are when they are born. We often think there are stages of
development that they must go through before we can really start interacting
with them and of course getting them to speak. However there are recent
studies that sign language for babies is actually a very helpful method for
the parents and baby to communicate even when speech is still impossible.
Your baby is going to be observing you throughout the day, especially once
they begin to get their sight. As you can imagine most babies are not born
with perfect sight or hearing.
What do you think about the fact that some babies have
been known to use sign language as early as six weeks old? Yes, it has been
shown that babies in non-hearing households have actually done this.
Although it is not typical, it has happened.
There are many reasons that sign languages have been
introduced into a child's life. Most of the time we as parents don't think
about sign language or teaching the language to our children if they are not
hearing impaired. Today there are many individuals and parents who have
found sign language can be helpful to communicate with their child as they
are growing up whether they are hearing impaired or not. There are several
tips in the following article on how to teach sign language. Most of these
tips will focus on the hearing impaired, but remember anyone can learn sign
language to help boost their communication skills overall.
