General Info

WHY sign with hearing babies and TODDLERS? WHILE ALL hearing children Begin the journey toward spoken language development AT birth. It takes children between 12 to 24 months to Begin "mastering" the sound and intonation patterns of english. And then to Begin applying this mastery to the production of basic words and sentences. In contrast. Signing smart gives YOU the resources and knowledge to take advantage of natural movements that ALL children make. And because the gross motor abilities required for signing develop months. Sometimes years. Earlier than the equivalent fine motor skills required for speech. Children CAN Begin to sign very early in development. Therefore. AT the same time that infants and toddlers are learning and practicing the sound patterns for english. They CAN USE linguistic hand and body movements to communicate needs. Ideas. And thoughts from AS early AS five months. Older infants and toddlers WHO have "mastered" early words will still benefit from seeing and using signs. And their parents or CAREGIVERS benefit TOO. For example. Early "talkers" CAN USE signs to expand their vocabulary commenting. Questioning. And conversing using signs for words that they cannot YET SAY. Or coupled with words they are learning to SAY to make sentences. CHILDREN'S USE of signs CAN help clarify their speech. And parents or CAREGIVERS CAN specifically ASK their child to USE a sign to help them better understand and respond to their child's words. When parents or CAREGIVERS continue to USE signs in strategic ways. Such AS those taught in signing smart programs and materials. The signs highlight specific concepts or ideas. And help children differentiate between similarly sounding words. Even older toddlers and preschoolers benefit when parents USE signs and signing smart strategies to support cognitive development and learning. For example. Literally seeing the difference between words like flea and flee allows young children to more easily learn concepts and complex vocabulary. Regardless of the great many words they MAY already have AT their command.
