Default Sign Language for Babies and Beyond

Some children learn to sign as early as 7 or 8 months - much earlier
than a typical baby learns to talk.
Babies who can communicate through sign are often much happier babies
and toddlers which translates into a happier you.
Babies who can sign have shown less frustration and have fewer
tantrums overall, since they can usually communicate their needs
better.
Studies have shown that babies who learned sign as infants had a
higher IQ overall than babies who didn't learn sign.
Children who have learned sign have been shown to have more advanced
language skills than children who have not learned sign.
Signing in the classroom has led to improved math scores among
students.
Learning sign language at an early age helps develop the brain in the
critical early years of language development.
Signing with your child provides a unique bonding experience between
you and your child.
Signing opens the doors to wonderful friendships with those who use
ASL as their primary language.
Signing helps promote self-esteem in children.
You would be surprised at how often knowing sign language really comes
in handy for both you and your child!
