Yes, Babies Can Communicate Before They Can Speak!
Any parent can tell you that one of the most
frustrating and heartbreaking aspects of parenting is not knowing what your
little ones needs or wants, a daily dilemma before babies and toddlers can
speak fluently. Teacher Nancy Hanauer, the founder of Hop to Signaroo ® based
in Seattle, Washington, teaches an effective and fun way for preverbal, hearing babies and toddlers to communicate – American Sign Language.
Teaching hearing babies and toddlers to communicate through simple American Sign Language vocabulary isn’t a new trend. With her original methods and curriculum, baby sign language pioneer Nancy Hanauer has helped thousands of parents and childcare providers communicate more effectively with their little ones since 2000. Babies as young as five months old have the manual dexterity, cognitive ability, memory and enough understanding of language to express their basic needs through simple signs. As they learn to speak, babies naturally drop the signs and focus on their speech, but until that happens signing can be a highly effective tool to reduce everyone’s frustration. Signing with hearing babies also enhances language and motor skills, aids brain develop and strengthens the parent-child bond through early, positive communication.
