As an infant and toddler teacher using signs is so beneficial and prevents babies from becoming frustrated because it allows them to say what the want without saying it

I taught my son signs and it really helped our relationship and made reading more interactive, since he could point to the pictures and sign the words he knew instead of just listening to me talk.

My sister also taught her daughters sign, but I didn't know this since she lived far from us during covid times. One day, an emergency happened and I had to stay with her girls over night. The youngest one was barely over a year old and had never met me, so I was worried she'd be really upset all night. But I saw her make the sign for milk and I immediately gave her a bottle and she was so calm after that. Signs really helped her communicate in a stressful time and made her feel secure that I knew what she needed and would take care of her.

Help is another HUGE one that my son uses daily

I think "help" would be a good one to include!

Just subscribed. My daughter got me interested. My grandson is 9months old and will be starting daycare soon the daycare teaches sign language and explained how babies can learn to communicate before speech development. Wish I had know this when my kids were babies. I’m going to learn now . Thank you

Thaaaannnkkkk you. My little one is 2 months but I use some of these words on a daily basis so making her familiar will only help. Appreciate this video.

I have a son who was born with a cleft lip and palate, he is very much delayed with speech. It has been very hard and frustrating, so I decided we should learn some sign language. Why it took me three years, I don't know. But he's four, and tries so hard to talk. I'm going to work on these with him after he wakes up tomorrow. 💚 and more!

Omg this video is so helpful. My daughter is 6 months and today was our first day trying... this has been the best video by far!

[jacquelynshiflett]

So one of my friends did this with their daughter and I was so impressed. I had never thought about how they can understand us they just can’t talk to us.
