Baby Signing
newborn-12 months

Imagine communicating with your baby before he or she can even speak. Sign language for infants reduces frustration, accelerates verbal development and strengthens cognitive skills. It also enhances child-parent bonding through time spent teaching signs to your baby. Research shows that preverbal infants can communicate through the use of sign language long before they can verbalize their needs.

Babies have the ability to recognize signs and between 0 to 12 months babies can start producing signs themselves. Usually around the same age babies, in general, babies start to wave "bye-bye" or hold up their hands as if to say "pick me up".
