When Should I Start Teaching My Baby Sign Language?





When should I start teaching my baby sign language?  
Well, the earlier the better!  You can start teaching your baby sign language as early as 6 months of age.  

What signs should I start teaching first?
You will want to start teaching signs that your baby will use most frequently like:  mom - dad - eat - milk - hungry - drink - more - please - thank you - cat or dog, etc.  



How do I teach my baby sign language?
You want to keep learning fun for your baby.  Incorporate signing in your daily routine.  Give praise to your baby when he/she uses signs.  Gradually grow your baby's signing vocabulary based on your baby's interest.

Use combination communication [signing and verbalization] whenever possible.
