Baby signing is a way of communicating with your baby before it is able to speak.
Most mothers will realize that their child begins communicating with them before they are able to talk because the baby’s motor skills will develop a lot sooner than their ability to talk and they are able to communicate using what people now call baby signing.
Baby signing can help you to resolve problems such as why your baby might be crying or unsettled as it gives you the ability to communicate with your child and understand what the problem is.
As with anything else relating to the development of children the mother child relationship and the ability to communicate via baby signing will progress at a different rate for each individual but it is not uncommon for mothers and babies to be able to communicate very well with baby signing as early as six months.
This ability will naturally increase as time goes by and up until the child begins to talk and communicate on the basis that we are most familiar.
You can’t rush this process with your baby as they will develop at their own pace and it is better to do so in a relaxed manner than to try to introduce any pressure at this early stage in life.
You will be surprised at how quickly your child will begin to develop these communication techniques with you once you begin using them.
They can be used within days to start communicating the everyday wants and needs that your child has such as food drink and sleep requirements.
The ability to communicate at such an early stage makes the whole process of parenting so much easier as it eliminates a lot of the guesswork and helps you to give your baby what it needs to remain contented more of the time.
