Remember the movie Meet the Fockers? It is probably the movie that uses baby sign language. Remember the part when Jack teaches his young grandson to communicate through baby sign language in the movie. Baby sign language has been through some issues wherein it may have a negative effect on the infant. But true enough the researchers found proof to correct the misleading issues. It can actually speed up the process of the baby?s learning to verbally communicate with other people.
It is a requirement that baby sign language must be the same as the American Sign Language. This must be followed so that your baby can benefit a lot by learning the proper sign language and be able to use this in the future to those with hearing impairment.
Few members of the staff at California State University and University of California are being credited with the advancement of baby sign language. They made some research on the many benefits of sign language. Joseph Garcia, an interpreter for American Sign Language discovered in his research that showing signs to a baby that is six to seven months old can enable to communicate though baby sign language when he will be eight to nine months old.
You can teach an infant a lot words and phrases through baby sign language. More, eat, sleep, help, dirty, cold, again, thank you, toothbrush are only few examples of what you can teach them as for baby signs. Isn't it fun and great to be able to communicate with an infant?
You may teach your infant this sign language in different ways. Successful parents used DVDs in helping them on how to teach their infants about baby sign language. We also have books and flashcards as alternative for DVDs. You have to be patient in teaching since it requires constant repetition so that babies can associate the sign onto what they want to express. Your child will greatly benefit on this baby sign language. Parents who have used this have been really amazed with its effects and can even testify to everyone.
