Did you know that babies can learn simply signs at around six months old? Teaching Sign Language to your baby or toddlers can give them a head start in their language skills, reduce tantrums related to communication barriers, and may even give them better grades in school!
Remember: The best way to learn a sign is to associate it with the object it represents. (Sign MOM while pointing at their mother, or FOOD when it’s time to eat.) Go ahead and give these five basic signs a try!
1. Food/Eat
2. Mom
3. Dad
4. Cute/Cutie
5. I love you
