Baby sign is important due to its ability to create a foundation for language in toddlers and newborns. With assosiation of hand signs to feelings or needs the baby learns to communicate specifically instead of crying or throwing a tantrum. This helps the child feel better, more understood, and then later provides the basis in which they need to begin speaking english or their native language. This also helps the mother, father, or caregiver to properly address the childs needs and will help with the overall difficulty of caring for a newborn.
