[169] When and How to Get Started Teaching Your Baby Sign Language

Send us a Text Message.

Communication is so important, especially when we are communicating with our kids. When our kids are little it seems like most of the time we get things right because of intuition. But what if your child could communicate with you clearly as young as 9 months old? I know it would make my life a whole lot easier. 

In today's episode, we are talking all about using sign language to communicate with our children. This is something that I have grown a passion for only because, one, there are several patients of mine who are actually deaf or hard of hearing and use sign language. And, two, my son has a love for sign language because that is his preferred way of communicating. 

In this episode, my guest Lauren shares:

How she got started learning signing languageHow early we can start teaching our babies to sign languageWhat signs we should start teaching your babies when they are first learning sign languageWhy we should use sign language to teach toddlers about their feelingsResources to get you started learning sign language
