"Child Development experts Dr Linda Acredolo, Ph.D, and Dr Susan Goodwyn, Ph.D., discovered Baby Signs in 1982. After two decades of research, Acredolo and Goodwyn have found that babies whose parents introduce them to Baby Signs learn to talk to sooner, have fewer tantrums, get a jump start on their intellectual development, express emotions effectively, and develop stronger bonds with their parents."
Thinking to introduce baby signs to janelle. rather having her learning some made up "signing" by us, must well introduce correct and proper signing that will benefits for her which can last a lifttime. of cos, i dont expect her to learn how to form a sentence with signing, but some simple Baby Signs like "Bye Bye", "Eat", "more", "No More" , etc...
I believe this will be fun.. found a interesting blog that can picked up signing http://babystrology.blogspot.com/. check it up if you are interested.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI let my boy watch Baby Signing Time. I like it alot cos the music is very catchy and it makes learning the signs very fun. My boy was able to pick up quite a few signs...and it helped him express himself better.
BUT I'm not very sure about it helping in talking cos he started talking very very very late. He was so comfortable signing what he wanted that he couldn't be bothered to talk.
Thanks Keston's mom for sharing.
ReplyDeletehmm, that's might be a concern when they gets too comfortable with signing and dont be bothered to speak up..
But how do you feel about signing? is it helpful to keston?
BTW, where you get the DVD of Baby Signing Time.
Forum bulk purchase section always got people selling.
ReplyDeleteGot its pros and cons. It's helpful cos it helps reduce tantrums as we understand better what he wanted.
