According to BabySignLanguage.com the benefits of sign language is bonding, reduced fussiness, and development. Baby sign language is a great way to help infants express their needs earlier than usual. An interpreter by the name of Joseph Garcia conducted some research which showed that when babies are signed to on a regular basis been the ages of six to seven months then begin to use the signs more effectively when they reach eight and nine months.
Tips on teaching baby sign language
- Begin demonstrating when the infant is between six and eight months old, when they can hold your gaze for a couple of seconds.
- Start with three to five signs, using eye contact and saying the word out loud. Try signs which are easily linked to objects, such as “ball.”
- Repeat the signs consistently on a regular basis. Suggest that other caregivers join in.
- Notice when the infant begins to mimic the signs, usually after about two months, and add additional words when you begin to make progress. ~http://psychcentral.com/lib/teaching-your-baby-sign-language-can-benefit-both-of-you/0002423
