1) Teaching and practicing baby sign language also can be fun and give you and your child an opportunity to bond.

2)baby sign language might give a typically developing child a way to communicate several months earlier than those who only use vocal communication.

3)This might help ease frustration between ages 8 months and 2 years — when children begin to know what they want, need and feel but don't necessarily have the verbal skills to express themselves.

4)Children who have developmental delays might benefit, too. Further research is needed, however, to determine if baby sign language promotes advanced language, literacy or cognition.

5)The ability to sign basic words could prove helpful in boosting communication and providing a “bridge to the spoken word.” It may also facilitate the acquisition of verbal and written forms of communication later on.

6)Infants who learn baby sign language also are thought to gain psychological benefits, such as improved confidence and self-esteem.

7)Feelings of anger due to an inability to communicate may not occur as often. Having the ability to sign could be a lifesaver when a child is too distraught to speak clearly.

8)It has been suggested that learning sign language can delay speech, but this is refuted by experts who claim that in fact, it aids speech development. Most baby signers speak earlier than babies who do not learn sign language.

9)Infants enjoy learning and games, eagerly soaking up more and more signs. It creates playful interaction and a chance to glow with pride in your child’s abilities.

10)Sign language provides the ability to communicate earlier than speech. Infants from about six months of age can begin to learn the basic signs, which cover objects and concepts such as “milk”, “eat”, “sleep”, and “all done”. These signs are commonly used to alleviate the communication gap and reduce potential frustrations.
