Signing Food Related Words
By the time babies are 9 to 10 months old, they are quite capable of knowing what it is they need or want. What they don't know is how to tell us with words-which leads directly to frustration for baby and parent alike. All this changes when a baby is able to use signs. With signs like "eat & drink" literally at their fingertips, babies can make their needs known quickly and quietly without becoming frustrated and resorting to tantrums and tears.

Signing with young children
This is my son. Learning a second language is fun and has many developmental benefits. ASL stimulates learning through different senses. Sign language is a blessing for children that are "visual", "spatial" or "tactile learners." Learning a second language raises your child's IQ.One in ten Americans have some degree of hearing loss. Knowing a few signs can give your child the confidence to engage and interact with a deaf child rather than both children feeling awkward and helpless.

No more Terrible Twos
Many parents observe that by learning to communicate earlier, the "terrible twos" are not so terrible-children can use a sign instead of throwing a tantrum to express their needs.

- I love your lens. Thanks for making it! My daughter knew the signs for milk, food and more. She never took to any others - she was happy with those three. I am hoping my son who is four months will learn a few more than that.
