www.sign2me.com This expansive website details the importance of allowing your infant early communication through sign language. Children can begin signing as early as 6-7 months, and through using physical gesticulations they learn to integrate audio, visual and kinesthetic learning. In addition, Joseph Garcia states that sign language provides a multitude of benefits, including "... reduced frustration for parent and child, a stronger parent-child bond, and accelerated verbal-language development."
Research has shown that when you sign with your baby before verbal language begins your
child will:
- Be less frustrated
- Actually speak earlier
- Have a higher IQ
- Develop a larger vocabulary
- Show enhanced self-esteem
- Become a better reader
